Adenomyosis and endometriosis, two common estrogen-dependent benign gynecological disorders usually present with overlapping symptoms, such as pain and infertility. These two conditions often co-exist and are associated with poor reproductive …
This systematic review aimed to summarize all available data and evaluate the roles of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, associated molecules, and signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The search was conducted …
This study reveals elevated levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-3 in endometriotic lesions, potentially reflecting a senescenceassociated secretory phenotype. No corresponding increase was observed in peritoneal fluid, possibly due to …
Phthalate metabolites Mono- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(MEHP) and Phthalic Acid Monobenzyl Ester (MBZP) are widely present in the environment, can interfere with the endocrine system and accumulate in human tissues, and are …

In this study, we aimed to investigate whether serum NGAL, MMP-9 and the MMP-9/NGAL ratio, which are inflammatory markers used for the diagnosis and follow-up of some diseases, can be …
Ovarian endometriosis(OEM) is the most common type of endometriosis, but there is still a lack of simple and easy-to-promote animal models. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a feasible animal …
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cleave proteins of extracellular matrix thus facilitating cellular invasion and cancer progression. High MMP-2 activity is frequently reported in several diseases including endometriosis and cancer. Endometriosis, though …
Endometrial cysts of the ovary (EMC) may develop into endometriosis (EM)‑associated ovarian cancer over time (EAOC), but the pathogenesis of this disease has not been determined. In the present study, …
Special attention has been paid to genetic mechanisms that might have a significant impact on the context of the risk of developing endometriosis, in recent years. The study aimed to …
