Advancements in Ultrasound Diagnosis of Superficial Endometriosis: Current Challenges and Emerging Techniques.
Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Superficial endometriosis (SE) is the most prevalent form, yet it remains underdiagnosed due to subtle clinical and imaging …
Potential Modulatory Role of Phoenixin-14 in Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Endometriotic 12Z Cells.
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a painful chronic condition in which the endometrium grows outside the uterus. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is critical to endometriosis progression, where cells lose epithelial traits and …
Spatial transcriptomic analysis identifies epithelium-macrophage crosstalk in endometriotic lesions.
The mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify cell type-specific gene expression changes …
