Background: Endometriosis and lipedema are chronic female-predominant disorders characterized by persistent pain that is frequently disproportionate to anatomical lesion burden. Although traditionally interpreted within distinct lesion-centered frameworks, both conditions exhibit …
Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of mechanical properties in the ovarian microenvironment for ovarian function. However, the mechanisms that cause ovarian matrix stiffening during aging remain incompletely understood. …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects 5-15% of women of reproductive age. It is characterized by severe symptoms, including dysmenorrhea and non-cyclic pelvic pain, which can substantially impair …
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 inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign cystic lesions that most commonly occur in women with a history of prior abdominal surgery, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. They arise from the …
Microvascular thromboinflammation is a pervasive yet under-recognized driver of multisystem morbidity that links focal endothelial injury to distal organ dysfunction through interacting cellular and plasmatic networks. Contemporary paradigms remain fragmented: …
Buserelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, reduces gonadotropin and estrogen levels and is commonly used to alleviate the symptoms of endometriosis. Vitamin D3 has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic …
Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in female reproductive health, particularly in ovarian function. This review provides …
Tokishakuyakusan (TSS), a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine, is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. This study examined the effects of TSS on fecundity and endometriosis-like lesions during pregnancy in …
Lactoferrin (LF), a multifunctional glycoprotein of the transferrin family, exhibits anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease commonly treated with progesterone therapy; however, progesterone receptor (PGR) …
