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 …
Ghrelin, a peptide composed of 28 amino acids, is recognized for its role in regulating appetite and energy balance. Recently, it has also been identified as an immunomodulator that could …
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 …
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 …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a persistent, inflammatory condition that relies on estrogen and is distinguished by the proliferation of endometrial tissue outside the confines of the uterus. The impact on the …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with ectopic endometrial tissues arising in extrauterine areas. We investigated the mechanism of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)/P2X4 regulating inflammation and oxidative stress in EMS.
Endometriosis is hypothesized to result from retrograde menstruation where cell debris including endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) travel through the fallopian tubes. This chronic inflammatory disease is characterized by inflammatory and …
Current interventions for endometriosis mainly involve hormone therapies but have limited efficacy and unacceptable side effects due to the lack of selectivity to distinguish between endometriosis and endometrial tissues. Elucidating …
The endometrium is a vital mucosal tissue which undergoes cyclical regeneration, differentiation, and remodeling upon hormonal, cellular, and molecular signaling networks. Dysregulation of these processes can trigger a range of …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease affecting 1 in 10 reproductive-aged women and is characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The leading hypothesis for disease …
