THBS1 identificated as an endometriosis biomarker through evidence from single-cell and bulk transcriptomic profiling.

Endometriosis affects a substantial number of women of reproductive age, yet current diagnostic methods rely on invasive procedures. To address this limitation, we investigated THBS1 as a potential biomarker and …

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances exposure and endometriosis risk: Evidence from epidemiologic, network toxicology, and molecular docking.

Although per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure has been linked to endometriosis, this association remains controversial, and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate this relationship and …

The role of mitophagy in female reproductive system diseases: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic strategies.

Mitophagy is a catabolic mechanism that selectively degrades damaged mitochondria and precisely modulates mitochondrial content, thereby maintaining intracellular homeostasis under stress conditions. To date, most reviews on mitophagy have predominantly …

''Non-Invasive Extracellular Vesicle Biomarkers in Endometriosis, Molecular Signatures Linking Pelvic Inflammation, Oocyte Quality, and IVF Outcomes''.

Endometriosis impairs fertility by interfering with ovarian function, embryonic development, and endometrial receptivity. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are recognised as non-invasive biomarkers that may indicate biological processes based on their lipid, …

Women with chronic pelvic pain can be stratified using multimodal assessment.

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common and burdensome symptom in women yet current clinical management frequently leaves many with persistent pain. The Translational Research in Pelvic Pain (TRiPP) project …

Global trends in the uptake of specialist diagnostic ultrasound and MRI scans for endometriosis: An international cross-sectional survey.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women globally. We aimed to determine health provider involvement and preferred methods of obtaining an endometriosis diagnosis across international jurisdictions. A global cross-sectional survey, distributed …

Mechanistic decoding of triclosan-induced endometriosis via network toxicology, Mendelian randomization, and molecular docking.

Interventions for endometriosis-related pain and infertility: a protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Endometriosis, a chronic oestrogen-dependent disorder, presents significant clinical challenges including pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia and infertility. While numerous interventions exist, evidence guiding the choice among surgical, hormonal and non-hormonal therapies …

Assessing Uterine Fibroid Symptoms and Health-related Quality of Life among women at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana: an analytical cross-sectional study using the UFS-QoL questionnaire.

Uterine fibroids are highly prevalent and constitute significant health and social concerns, particularly among black-African women of reproductive age. However, beyond the clinical burden, there is limited data on the …

Mechanistic Insights into the Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Proliferative Effects of Selected Medicinal Plants in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis involves oestrogen-dependent chronic inflammation and the abnormal proliferation of ectopic endometrial tissue. Conventional hormonal therapies suppress systemic oestrogen, but do not fully address local oxidative and inflammatory signalling. This …
