Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It affects ~10% of reproductive-aged individuals and is associated with dysmenorrhea and infertility. Although …
Ferroptosis is a novel kind of regulated cell death that occurs when redox equilibrium is disrupted, leading to iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is defined by the buildup of deleterious lipid …
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, …
This study investigates the association between diagnostic delay (DD) and clinical and behavioral variables among Japanese women with endometriosis, and explores an optimal cut-off point distinguishing short and long DD.
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease, and hormonal treatment is the most common treatment. Both deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and ovarian endometrioma (OV) are characterized by dense surrounding fibrotic tissue. However, …
Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress is a critical factor in the development and progression of endometriosis. Granulosa cells, which reside near oocytes in follicles, exhibit steroidogenic activity, and, consequently, influence oocyte quality. …
Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological disorder with complex and poorly understood etiology and no definitive cure. Beyond pain and infertility, affected individuals frequently experience psychiatric comorbidities, often attributed to …
Are endometriotic lesions affecting bilateral organs or anatomical structures distributed symmetrically on both sides of the body?
Steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs) are master regulators of nuclear receptor signaling and play essential roles in female reproductive physiology. By integrating steroid hormone signaling with growth factors and metabolic pathways, …
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 …
