Endometriosis is highly prevalent but remains under-researched. This study, using the latest data, aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the burden of endometriosis on a global scale.

The Nexus of Iron, Senescence, and Fibrosis in Endometriosis: A Narrative Review.

Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition impacting 5-10% of reproductive-age women, commonly resulting in debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. Despite extensive research efforts, the precise underlying pathophysiology remains largely …

Molecular mechanisms and Biological Functions of Autophagy in Endometrial Diseases.

Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis by degrading damaged organelles and misfolded proteins. Emerging evidence highlights its pivotal role in endometrial diseases, including endometriosis, …

Research progress and potential therapeutic targets of a novel disulfide stress-driven cell death-disulfidptosis in gynecological tumors and other gynecological disorders.

Disulfidptosis is a novel Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADPH) deficiency-driven cell death pathway characterized by cystine overload and aberrant disulfide bond formation in actin cytoskeletal proteins, distinct from apoptosis, ferroptosis, …

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha expression in endometriosis: A retrospective observational case-control study of ovarian cyst capsules and endometrial tissue samples.

BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the expression patterns of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in ovarian cyst capsules and endometrial tissue samples from patients with and without endometriosis to evaluate its potential as …

Identification and Characterization of m6A Regulators METTL3 and YTHDF2: Unveiling Their Biological Functions in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a benign gynecological disorder that exhibits several malignant characteristics, including proliferation and angiogenesis. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays a crucial role in regulating RNA splicing, subcellular localization, translation …

It's not all in the name-how the misnomer 'endometriosis' stifles understanding and research.

Integrative transcriptomic analysis identifies shared EndMT-related gene signatures in endometriosis and recurrent miscarriage.
