Genomic insights into endometriosis, adenomyosis, and uterine fibroids for the clinician.

Over the last few decades, genomics has become integral to understanding disease pathophysiology, improving diagnostics, and refining treatment strategies. Endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and adenomyosis are highly prevalent benign gynecologic disorders …

Targeting the Wnt signaling network in endometriosis: mechanistic insights and translational opportunities.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder defined by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, driven by estrogen-dependent inflammation and progressive fibrosis. According to available data, remodeling and persistent …

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (nlr) as a predictor of endometriosis occurrence and prognosis: Evidence from a single-center study in Indonesia.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, leading to pelvic pain and infertility. It affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive …

Development of a Synthetic Hydrogel to Foster Microvascularization of an Endometriosis Microphysiological System.

The ascent of novel alternative methods in drug development spotlights the dual needs for improved biological fidelity to in vivo, along with reproducibility, especially in regulatory applications. The need for …

Uterine intravascular adenomyomatosis: Clinicopathological features and literature review of a rare entity.

Intravascular adenomyomatosis (IA), characterised by endometrial-type glands or stroma embedded within smooth muscle tissue inside myometrial vessels, is a rare variant within the spectrum of uterine intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL).

Reduced type 2 epithelial-mesenchymal transition serves as a risk factor for the progression from endometriosis to endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer.

Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer arising from the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS). Despite growing clinical awareness, its underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully …

Endocrine roles of vitamin D in female reproduction: Mechanisms and clinical implications.

Vitamin D a fat-soluble steroid hormone signals through Vitamin D Receptors (VDRs) located throughout the ovaries, uterus, placenta, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland, influencing immune regulation and female reproductive physiology. This …

Stage-Related Changes in TGF-β Isoforms in PBMC Culture Supernatants in Endometriosis: A Prospective Case-Control Study.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) has been implicated in immune dysregulation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and fibrosis. Data on baseline secretion of TGF-β isoforms …

Microbiota-metabolite axis in endometriosis: Pathogenic mechanisms and clinical implications.

Growing evidence highlights the role of microbiota, including those of the gut, reproductive tract, and endometrial tissue, as critical functional drivers in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM). Studies have revealed …
