SPP1 as a key modulator of M2 macrophage polarization promotes endometriosis progression via activation of the FAK/PI3K/AKT pathway: A bioinformatics and experimental study.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation and an aberrant immune microenvironment. In this study, we integrated the GSE6364 dataset from the GEO database to identify differentially …

Endometriosis Across Ages: Uncovering Differences Between Teens and Adults.

M2 Macrophages are Major Mediators of Germline Risk of Endometriosis and Explain Pleiotropy With Comorbid Traits.

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition that causes chronic, life-altering symptoms including pain and infertility. There is an urgent need for new non-hormonal targeted therapeutics to treat endometriosis, but until …

Erastin-induced multi-pathway cell death in endometriosis: a mechanistic and translational narrative review.

This narrative review examines the therapeutic potential of Erastin and its derivatives for endometriosis (EMS) by integrating mechanistic, preclinical, and translational perspectives. We conducted a focused review of literature from …

The Impact of Nutrition on Endometriosis Complaints in Patients Using and Not Using Hormone Therapy.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease marked by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Main symptoms include pain in the sacrum, pelvis, and abdomen, occurring at various stages …

Fine-needle Aspiration Cytology of Cutaneous Endometriosis: A Series of 17 Cases with Literature Review.

Cutaneous endometriosis, a rare entity, is a type of extra pelvic endometriosis observed in 0.5%-1% of women. The most common sites include the abdominal wall, umbilicus, vulva, and extremities. It …

Mechanisms Driving Resistance to Oxidative Stress During Endometrial Stromal Cell Decidualization†.

Decidualization is the transformation of endometrial stromal cells into functionally specialized cells during the early stages of pregnancy. Occurring in mammals that develop invasive hemochorial placentae, decidualization is a pivotal …

Differential life cycle toxic effects and molecular mechanisms of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) exposure on the female reproductive system.

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the most prevalent plasticizer worldwide, can enter the human body via various exposure pathways, including ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, and medical applications. It has been observed to …

Inhibition of VEGFR1 TK Signaling in Peritoneal Macrophages Suppresses Endometriosis Development.

Endometriosis is characterized by the accumulation of immune cells in endometrial lesions and the peritoneal cavity. Macrophages contribute to the growth and neovascularization of endometriotic lesions. Vascular endothelial growth factor …

A Multifunctional Molecular Probe for Multimodal Imaging-Guided Potent Photothermal/Photodynamic Therapy of Endometriosis.

Multifunctional small-molecule theranostic agents hold significant clinical potential for non-invasive endometriosis (EMS) management. Current EMS treatment faces challenges due to imprecise lesion localization and therapy-associated side effects. Herein, an integrated …
