Human peritoneal hypoxia may stabilize rather than initiate endometriotic lesions.

Novel Exploratory Transcriptomic Candidates as Biomarkers and Cancer Hallmark Fingerprints for Ovarian Endometroid and Clear Cell Carcinomas in Women.

Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers (EAOCs), encompassing clear cell (CC) and endometrioid carcinomas (EC), constitute distinct biological entities yet lack robust biomarkers for precise classification, prognostication, and therapeutic decision-making in women. Therefore, …

Metabolic remodeling of endometriosis microenvironment: Energy stress and immune evasion.

Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory gynecological disease characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissues, leading to dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and infertility. Although the retrograde menstruation theory clarifies the …

The endometriosis-adenomyosis spectrum: shared pathophysiology and microenvironment-driven disease divergence.

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are common gynecologic disorders associated with dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. Although they share several molecular features, the mechanisms by which endometrium-derived tissues develop distinct pathological …

The hypoxia-epigenetics-ncRNA axis in endometriosis: from molecular cascades to self-sustaining pathogenic circuits.

Endometriosis is a debilitating chronic inflammatory disorder driven by extensive molecular reprogramming. Despite significant bench research into its pathogenesis, translating these molecular discoveries into clinical practices that improve patient outcomes …

Hypoxia-induced regulations of cell adhesion molecules and their implications for pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age. Despite extensive research, its …

Aberrant mitochondria in endometriosis: From pathogenic mechanisms to therapeutic opportunities.

Endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age and is a major cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility, yet current therapies often fail to provide lasting relief. Mitochondrial …

Piezo1 mediates hypoxia-induced endometriosis fibrosis via the mtDNA -dependent cGAS-STING pathway.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of functional endometrial tissue, and its fibrotic pathology represents a primary contributor to chronic pain and infertility in …

Hypoxia-mediated epigenetic silencing of YTHDF2 promotes endometriosis progression via the NFE2L1-NF-κB axis.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissues. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification regulates diverse cellular processes, yet its role in EMs remains unclear. Here, we …

Peritoneal Hypoxia as a Gatekeeper Between Physiologic Retrograde Menstruation and Pathologic Persistence in Endometriosis.

Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
