Endometriosis is a chronic, oestrogen-responsive inflammatory disease characterised by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Because retrograde menstruation is common, lesion establishment probably requires cellular competence and a permissive ectopic …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic gynecological disease with poorly understood pathogenesis. This study integrated lipidomics and transcriptomics to systematically investigate aberrant sphingolipid metabolism in EMs, aiming to identify pathogenic mechanisms …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with infertility in up to half of those diagnosed. Despite decades of research, the molecular basis of its …
Endometriosis (EMS) is characterised by a disrupted peritoneal immune microenvironment where M2 macrophage polarization and impaired phagocytosis promote lesion survival. Single-cell RNA-seq (ScRNAseq) of the peritoneal macrophages from EMS patient …
Endometriosis is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis, in which cytokines and cytokine-macrophage interactions serve as critical mediators. However, the specific mechanisms that initiate the fibrotic cascade in endometriosis remain poorly …
EMs is a chronic, estrogen-dependent systemic inflammatory disorder defined by the ectopic implantation of endometrial glands and stroma and is frequently associated with dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and substantial …
Determining the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains a major challenge in contemporary gynecology, and the investigation of alterations in cellular immunity may provide important insights into this issue. A comprehensive search …
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by chronic pelvic inflammation, but the etiology of this inflammation remains poorly understood. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), whereby senescent cells secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, is a …
Implantation failure remains a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and is a significant contributor to infertility in women with endometriosis. Beyond mechanical distortion and ovarian dysfunction, increasing evidence …
There is a higher density of immune cells in peritoneal fluid than is found in blood. Thus, any perturbations, from sterile injury to endometriosis to ovarian cancer, require immune cells …
