Adenomyosis involves the infiltration of endometrial glands and stroma deep into the uterine tissue, causing disruption to the endometrial-myometrial interface (EMI). The role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) has been extensively studied …
Are genetic effects on endometrial gene expression tissue specific and/or associated with reproductive traits and diseases?
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death process characterized by the accumulation of lethal oxidative damage. Localized iron overload is a unique clinical phenomenon in ovarian endometriosis (EM). However, the …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynecological disorder with an urgent need of a reliable non-invasive diagnostic strategy. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using the contents of exosomes, especially …
Understanding of molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, and upstream drivers of lesion formation, remains limited. Using a C57Bl/6 mouse model in which decidualized endometrial tissue is injected …
The exact pathogenesis of the endometriosis is not apparent. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNAs can be used a diagnostic and therapeutic …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological inflammatory disease. The mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA CN) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) are known to contribute to human pathologies and cancer. Therefore, …
Patients with pathogenic variants in the GATA Binding Protein 2 (GATA2), a hematopoietic transcription factor, are at risk for human papillomavirus-related (HPV) anogenital cancer at younger than expected ages. A …
In this focused genetic case-control study, we analyzed two functional single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) associated with breast cancer risk (rs2046210, rs9383590) and one risk SNV for an implantation defect and infertility …
Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder seriously affecting the health and life of women of reproductive age. Neuropilin 2 (NRP2) has been indicated to display a high level in ectopic endometrium. …
