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 …
Endometriosis is a common complex gynecological condition that is difficult to efficiently diagnose and remains poorly understood. Menstrual fluid provides a non-invasive source of disease-relevant tissue and has been identified …
Deep endometriosis (DE) is the most severe subtype of endometriosis, marked by aggressive cellular behavior and debilitating pain. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying DE pathogenesis remain poorly understood. In this …
Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a disorder of impaired reproductive immune tolerance rather than solely an endocrine disease. Although previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the number of regulatory …
Endometriosis is underpinned by dysfunctional immune responses resulting in failure to clear ectopic endometrial lesions from the peritoneal cavity. The pelvic milieu comprising immature dendritic cells, dysfunctional cytotoxic lymphocytes, and …
Endometriosis is a benign yet invasive disease characterized by ectopic endometrial growth and immune remodeling. While emerging evidence implicates cellular senescence in disease progression, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. …
Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. …
Endometriosis (EM) is a condition that impacts roughly 10% of women within the reproductive age demographic on a global scale. Due to the limitations of conventional diagnostic techniques for endometriosis, …
Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition …
Numerous abnormalities of the endometriosis eutopic endometrium contribute to the initiation and development of ectopic lesions. It is also believed that among the complex causes of the disease, systemic immunological …
