The microbiota constitutes a vital component of the human microenvironment, dynamically responding to physiological changes and playing crucial roles in maintaining normal bodily functions. Endometriosis (EMs), defined as a chronic, …
Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue growing outside of the uterus. One of its main symptoms is chronic pain and inflammation leading …
Immune-related factors may serve an important role in the development of endometriosis, considering the occurrence of substantial abnormalities in the immune system of women with endometriosis, including reduced T-cell reactivity …
Orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) is a member of the NR4A subfamily that was initially discovered as an intermediate early gene expressed in response to stressors, including inflammatory agents. This …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting women of reproductive age, often accompanied by chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Despite numerous studies, its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Increasing evidence indicates …
Ovarian stimulation is used in assisted reproductive technology to help infertile couples achieve pregnancy. Luteal-phase stimulation with progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) is a practical approach, as it involves oral medication …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition that has been linked to mental health outcomes. We conducted a population-based, retrospective, matched cohort study using administrative health data (2010-2022) from Ontario, Canada, …
Polypoidal rectal endometriosis is a rare and diagnostically challenging manifestation of deep infiltrating endometriosis that may mimic colorectal malignancy, especially in women lacking classical cyclical symptoms. We report such a …
The immune system is hypothesized to contribute to the onset of endometriosis lesions. However, the precise mechanisms underlying its role are not yet known. We introduce a novel compartmental model …
Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by TET3 overexpression (Toe-Macs) in three major human diseases associated …
