Association between bisphenols A and the risk of endometriosis: results from an updated meta-analysis.

Recent studies have disputed the association between bisphenol A (BPA) and endometriosis. This updated meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of BPA exposure on endometriosis.

Reproductive Health Consequences of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Microplastics in Mid-life Women: A Systematic Review of Emerging Evidence.

Mid-life women are increasingly recognized as a vulnerable population for endocrine disruption due to chronic environmental exposures. Among emerging contaminants, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and microplastics have been implicated …

Shared Pathophysiology and Early Detection Biomarkers in Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Opportunities for AI-Enabled Screening.

Endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are common, multifactorial gynecological disorders shaped by endocrine imbalance, immune dysfunction, metabolic disruption, genetic susceptibility, and environmental exposures. Despite their major contribution to infertility …

Mechanism study of phthalate exposure promoting endometriosis: Based on the ferroptosis perspective.

Phthalates (PAEs), typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that accumulate in the human body to induce reproductive toxicity, have epidemiological links to endometriosis (EM), but the underlying micro-mechanisms remain unclear. Ferroptosis is …

HEAVY METAL TOXICITY VERSUS TRACE ELEMENT PROTECTION IN WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH - A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.

Environmental exposures are increasingly linked to reproductive dysfunctions such as endometriosis, ovarian insufficiency, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Through endocrine disruption, oxidative stress, and epigenetic pathways, heavy metals (such as …

Closing the evidence loop-membrane-lipid homeostasis and vesicular transport link DEHP exposure to endometriosis.

The causal bridge from environmental exposure to endometriosis (Ems) biology remains incompletely defined. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is repeatedly implicated in elevated Ems risk, yet actionable molecular anchors linking exposure to …

Endometriosis - on the intersection of modern environmental pollutants and ancient genetic regulatory variants.

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-driven inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women globally. Despite increasing genomic insights into advanced-stage disease, the genetic underpinnings of early-stage endometriosis remain poorly understood, …

Mechanistic decoding of triclosan-induced endometriosis via network toxicology, Mendelian randomization, and molecular docking.

Integrative microbiome-metabolomics identifies Pseudomonas as a potential pathogenic factor in endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic disease characterized by unclear etiology, influenced by various genetic and environmental factors, with no definitive biomarkers available for early screening. Recent studies suggest that the …

FIGO committee opinion: Environmental drivers of gynecologic and reproductive health.

This FIGO committee opinion paper addresses the growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to common gynecologic and reproductive conditions across the life course. From adolescence through menopause, women are …
