Yiqi Huoxue Formula ameliorates endometriosis by suppressing NF-κB p65/NLRP3 inflammasome-associated pyroptotic signaling.

Yiqi Huoxue Formula (YQHXF) is an 11-herb hospital-based traditional Chinese medicinal formula developed according to the therapeutic principle of tonifying qi and activating blood circulation. Previous clinical application has suggested …

Steroidal alkaloids as multi-target therapeutics for the treatment of endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue, progressive fibrosis and chronic pain, with a pathogenesis that goes beyond oestrogen dependence. The central question this review seeks …

Orchestrating the gut microbiota-mitochondrial-immune axis in gynecological diseases: mechanisms and dual-targeting therapeutic strategies.

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 …

Peritoneal Incretin Deficiency and Tirzepatide as a Multi-Axis Adjuvant Hypothesis in Treatment-Refractory Endometriosis: A Mechanistic Framework Linking Metabolism, Immunity, Fibrosis, and Nociception.

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. …

Targeting TLR4 Attenuates Endometriosis Progression by Suppressing NF-κB/NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Angiogenesis.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, yet non-hormonal therapeutic options remain limited. This study investigates the role of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome axis in endometriosis …

Inflammasomes meet organoids and artificial intelligence: unraveling the complexity of gynecological inflammation.

Gynecological diseases represent a persistent global health burden. According to a WHO report, the global incidence of gynecological diseases exceeds 65%. Furthermore, over 90% of women suffer from gynecological issues …

Parthenolide attenuated the endometriosis-like lesions by activating autophagy and suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activity.

Parthenolide (PTL) has significant anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, but its regulatory mechanisms in endometriosis (EMs) remain unclear. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of PTL on cellular models …

Neutrophil extracellular traps in gynecological disease: pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities.

Gynecologic disorders, including infections, sterile inflammatory diseases, endocrine abnormalities, and malignancies, share a common signature of dysregulated immunity within a uniquely hormone-responsive reproductive tract. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are increasingly …

Research Advances in the Endometriotic Microenvironment: Synergistic Immune-Inflammatory-Angiogenic Interactions and their Therapeutic Translation.

Tellimagrandin II Stimulates Inflammasomes by Causing an Accumulation of 3-Aminopropanal, Which Promotes Apoptosis of Endometriotic Cells While Inhibiting Invasion.

Endometriosis is frequently treated with Paeoniae Radix. It contains Tellimagrandin II, which has the role of modulating immunity and anti-tumor. Therefore, we will explore the effects of Tellimagrandin II on …
