Bowel endometriosis: from pathogenesis to clinical management.

Bowel involvement is a severe manifestation of deep endometriosis that affects approximately 8-12% of women with endometriosis. Bowel endometriosis is most commonly localised in the rectosigmoid colon and frequently coexists …

Estetrol potentiates progesterone-driven growth restraint while blunting pro-angiogenic activation in murine endometriosis lesions.

Endometriosis is sustained by ectopic endometrial implants that remain proliferative and vascularized, making endocrine modulation a cornerstone of therapy. Estetrol (E4) an endogenous estrogen produced during pregnancy, with selective tissue …

Guided immunotherapy for residual solid tumor: integrating platelets and CAR T cells to reduce post-surgical recurrence.

Postoperative recurrence remains a major obstacle to durable remission in patients with solid tumors, even after complete macroscopic resection. Growing evidence suggests that surgery creates a transient yet highly permissive …

Low-FODMAP Diet for Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Endometriosis: A Systematic Review.

Background/Objectives: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, altered stool pattern, dyschezia, and nausea, are frequent in women with endometriosis and may persist despite conventional gynecological treatment. The low fermentable …

From Endometriosis to Lipedema: Toward a Neuroimmune Framework for Pain Amplification in Hormone-Sensitive Disorders.

Background: Endometriosis and lipedema are chronic female-predominant disorders characterized by persistent pain that is frequently disproportionate to anatomical lesion burden. Although traditionally interpreted within distinct lesion-centered frameworks, both conditions exhibit …

Suggestive associations between genetically predicted gut microbiota and endometriosis: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Introduction. Endometriosis affects 10-20% of reproductive-age women. Emerging evidence links the gut microbiota to endometriosis pathogenesis, but observational studies are limited by confounding, reverse causation and uncertainty about whether reported …

Modulating IL-11-dependent matrix stiffness to delay ovarian aging.

Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of mechanical properties in the ovarian microenvironment for ovarian function. However, the mechanisms that cause ovarian matrix stiffening during aging remain incompletely understood. …

Obstructive anomalies without menses - partial distal vaginal agenesis.

Aspartame exposure promotes endometriosis progression through PTGS2-mediated oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Aspartame, a widely used artificial sweetener, has been implicated in multiple toxicities. However, its potential reproductive toxicity mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the underlying relationship between aspartame …
