This study aimed to systematically assess the genetic comorbidity of endometriosis (EM) and its subtypes with menstrual-cycle-related traits, and to identify shared genetic mechanisms and key regulatory pathways underlying their …
The survival of ectopic endometrial lesions in endometriosis critically depends on their ability to evade immune recognition and clearance by the host, a process known as immune evasion. Recent studies …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of reproductive-age women, causing pelvic pain and infertility. Its progression involves angiogenesis and neurovascular innervation, mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor …
Since cumulus cells (CCs) play an undeniable role in oocyte maturation by producing and transferring important molecules to the oocyte, examining these cells can provide a broad view of the …
The etiopathogenesis of endometriosis-related infertility remains under investigation, including in women with endometriomas. Oocyte quality is believed to play an important role in the impairment of natural fertility in these …
The widespread use of plastic has led to exposure to chemicals like bisphenols (BPs), particularly bisphenol A (BPA), which are crucial in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. …
Accumulating observational evidence suggests an association between thyroid function and endometriosis, though the causal relationship remains unclear. To investigate potential bidirectional causal relationships, including for endometriosis subtypes, we conducted a …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue and is closely associated with pain and infertility. This review summarizes current evidence on immune dysregulation …
The anion exchanger 1 (AE1), traditionally known for its role in erythrocyte anion transport and acid-base homeostasis, has recently been identified in non-erythroid tissues, suggesting broader physiological functions. In the …
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are common gynecologic disorders associated with dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. Although they share several molecular features, the mechanisms by which endometrium-derived tissues develop distinct pathological …
