Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pelvic pain, infertility, repeated treatment, and impaired quality of life. Thyroid dysfunction and thyroid autoimmunity are also common in reproductive-aged women and …
Observational studies have reported comorbidity between autoimmune thyroid disease and endometriosis, but whether this reflects a direct causal relationship or shared susceptibility remains unclear. We evaluated the bidirectional relationship between …
Determining the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains a major challenge in contemporary gynecology, and the investigation of alterations in cellular immunity may provide important insights into this issue. A comprehensive search …
Endometriosis is associated with chronic pelvic pain, largely due to immune dysregulation within the peritoneal cavity. The activation status of peritoneal immune cells is not well understood, and comparisons with …
The survival of ectopic endometrial lesions in endometriosis critically depends on their ability to evade immune recognition and clearance by the host, a process known as immune evasion. Recent studies …
The "gut microbiota-mitochondria axis" has become the core hub connecting the metabolism, immunity, and endocrine regulation of gynecological diseases. In this review, the hierarchical regulation mechanism of this axis is …
Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a chronic systemic disorder extending beyond the classical estrogen-dependent paradigm, integrating metabolic, immune, fibrotic, and nociceptive pathways that sustain lesion persistence and refractory pelvic pain. …
Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide, characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Ectopic lesion growth tracks closely with immune-inflammatory …
How is endometrial and systemic immunity modulated throughout the menstrual cycle and are there changes in women with endometriosis?
Endometriosis (EMS) is a highly heterogeneous chronic gynecological disease characterized by pain, infertility, and relapse, with its etiology and pathogenesis not yet fully elucidated. Traditional theories, including "retrograde menstruation," "implantation …
