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 …
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. …
Microvascular thromboinflammation is a pervasive yet under-recognized driver of multisystem morbidity that links focal endothelial injury to distal organ dysfunction through interacting cellular and plasmatic networks. Contemporary paradigms remain fragmented: …
Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in female reproductive health, particularly in ovarian function. This review provides …
Endometriosis is a debilitating chronic inflammatory disorder driven by extensive molecular reprogramming. Despite significant bench research into its pathogenesis, translating these molecular discoveries into clinical practices that improve patient outcomes …
Human fertility has declined sharply since 1950, and a growing body of evidence suggests that while conventional socioeconomic factors are well-established drivers of the broader demographic transition, they do not …
Lactic acid modification of histones represents an emerging post-translational modification that establishes a critical link between cellular metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation through the covalent binding of lactic acid to …
This review aims to evaluate the potential of endometriosis models, especially patient-derived iPSC models, to gain deeper insights into the disease, thereby advancing our understanding and treatment of endometriosis. This …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that may be influenced by bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical commonly found in food-contact plastics. BPA has been implicated in altered steroidogenesis, immune …
Endometrosis is a chronic degenerative condition of the mare endometrium characterized by progressive fibrosis and glandular alterations that impair uterine function and fertility. Its pathogenesis involves persistent inflammation, the activation …
