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 …
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 …
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 …
Endometriosis disease affects up to 10 % of menstruating people worldwide and can lead to infertility. Environmental pollutants are risk factors influencing the probability of developing endometriosis.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are vital for oocyte development, yet the redox state of peritoneal fluid may differ between health and disease. This study investigates the effects of peritoneal fluid …
This study reveals elevated levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-3 in endometriotic lesions, potentially reflecting a senescenceassociated secretory phenotype. No corresponding increase was observed in peritoneal fluid, possibly due to …
To investigate the prevalence of coexisting pelvic lesions in post-cesarean bladder endometriosis (BE) and primary BE. If women with post-cesarean BE exhibit a lower prevalence of coexistent endometriosis, it could …
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 …
While epidemiological studies have associated endometriosis with ovarian cancer risk, the causal relationships across anatomic subtypes and histotypes remain undefined. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization with 84 genetic instruments (F-statistic = …
