Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition, the diagnosis of which has been made for many years through invasive procedures, such as laparoscopy. In recent years, non-invasive methods have been proposed, …
Oocyte formation occurs successfully within a meticulously controlled follicular environment characterized by well-documented endocrine, metabolic, and paracrine signals. Yet, the immunological landscape of the follicle and its role in influencing …
Apoptosis plays a paramount role in endometriosis pathogenesis. This process may be disrupted in endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) of women with endometriosis, causing them to continue developing in ectopic locations. …
The follicular fluid (FF) microenvironment plays a critical role in oocyte maturation and embryo development, reflecting local ovarian activity and systemic metabolic status. While metabolic alterations in FF have been …
Appendiceal endometriosis is a rare form of extragenital endometriosis that can mimic acute appendicitis. This reports presents the case of a 19-year-old woman with no significant medical history who presented …
Female reproductive tissues repeatedly undergo controlled inflammation, immune adaptation, and tissue repair. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) sit at the center of these processes, but …
To compare follicular fluid (FF) cytokine and homocysteine profiles in women with poor ovarian response (POR) undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), with and without sonographic endometrioma, and to explore potential …
The establishment of a successful pregnancy depends on proper embryo development and coordinated endometrial differentiation, particularly through the process of decidualization. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), especially those derived from endometrial …
Endometriosis is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, yet the cellular basis for this relationship remains unclear. We examined whether peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis alters cardiomyocyte …
This preliminary study sought to provide initial insights into lead concentrations within the follicular fluid of infertile patients with and without endometriosis, tentatively observing any potential links between lead presence …
