Angiogenesis mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is essential for physiological vascular remodeling but also drives pathological processes, including tumor growth, ocular neovascularization, and inflammation. Emerging evidence has …
Endometriosis, a common chronic gynecological disorder, involves cellular autophagy and inflammatory processes in its pathogenesis. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms of autophagy and inflammation in endometriosis remain unknown. In this …
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by ectopic lesions that disrupt endometrial decidualization, a process frequently accompanied by aberrant collagen deposition and closely linked to clinical infertility. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key …
The human endometrium is a complex, dynamic and poorly understood tissue involving monthly cyclical regeneration likely from adult stem/progenitor cells. This regeneration is associated with reproductive pathologies, such as endometriosis …
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) has emerged as a highly promising therapeutic target due to its critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis. To date, a variety …
Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a member of the neurotrophin family, is currently regarded as a key regulator of ovarian physiology beyond its well-known neurotrophic functions. The mammalian ovary is one …
Iron overload induces cellular stress and is implicated in diverse pathological conditions. Nevertheless, the epigenetic mechanisms governing mammalian cellular responses to iron overload remain poorly characterized. Using multi-omics profiling in …
