Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Increasing epidemiological and molecular evidence indicates that it may represent a precursor condition for a subset …
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been demonstrated with a role in pathologically driving various obstetric and gynecological (OB/GYN) diseases, but molecular mediators associating mitochondrial dysfunction with discrete pathologies have not been determined …
Background/Objective: RNA modifications, including N6-methyladenosine (m6A), 5-methylcytosine (m5C), 7-methylguanosine (m7G), N1-methyladenosine (m1A), pseudouridine (Ψ), N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C), 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm5s2U) and adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing, constitute a critical layer of post-transcriptional regulation that …
Endometriosis and endometrial cancer are distinct gynecological conditions that share overlapping biological mechanisms with implications for clinical management. Endometriosis is a chronic, benign disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation of …
Oocyte quality, a critical determinant of female reproductive potential, experiences a progressive decline with age, largely driven by the cumulative effects of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This review thoroughly …
Bisphenols and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals with widespread human exposure and growing concern regarding their reproductive toxicity. This review integrates current experimental and epidemiologic …
Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis, contributing to inflammation, immune dysregulation, and lesion progression. This has led to growing interest in antioxidant-based strategies as …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory, hormone dependent disorder that affects more than 200 million women worldwide. Immune dysfunction has emerged as one of the predominant mechanisms facilitating endometriosis lesion growth …
Endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are common, multifactorial gynecological disorders shaped by endocrine imbalance, immune dysfunction, metabolic disruption, genetic susceptibility, and environmental exposures. Despite their major contribution to infertility …
Endometriosis (EM) is associated with immune dysregulation, while dysfunction of natural killer (NK) cells is regarded as a key mechanism underlying immune escape and the persistent growth of ectopic lesions.
