Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder. Cholesterol (CHO) has been reported to be closely associated with estrogen synthesis and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the effects of cholesterol …
The extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influences cell behavior, yet its properties in human endometrial lesions (HEL) and human uterine fibromas (HUF) are not well characterized. This study aimed to characterize …
Adult endometrial glands undergo cyclic regeneration and development during the menstrual cycle. Their secretions are vital for endometrial functions and early pregnancy, yet the mechanisms controlling gland development are not …
Mare endometrosis remains a poorly understood pathological process.
Peritoneal endometriosis causes pelvic pain and infertility, but the underlying mechanisms related to these symptoms are not fully understood. Endometriosis diagnosis is typically delayed; thus, patient samples are unsuitable to …
Estrogen is a critical regulator of endometrial health. Aberrant estrogen stimulation can result in infertility, endometrial cancer, and endometriosis. Here, we identified Zinc Finger MIZ-Type Containing 1 (Zmiz1) as a …
We aimed to generate immortalized stromal cell lines from the ovarian and fallopian tube tissues of a single patient using Sendai virus (SeV) vectors and identify candidate stromal genes involved …
Endometriosis (ENDO) and poor ovarian response (POR) represent challenging conditions in assisted reproduction. Both, associated with altered follicular fluid (FF) composition, specifically impact on granulosa cell (GC) function in an …
Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial glands and stroma grow within the uterine myometrium. As a clinically significant disease, adenomyosis causes substantial pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. It remains understudied due …
In vitro fertilization (IVF) has revolutionized assisted reproductive technologies (ART), profoundly transforming infertility treatment since its inception. This procedure involves fertilizing an egg with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment, …
