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 …
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 (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 …
Decidual changes in deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) are extremely rare. During pregnancy, endometriotic activity and symptoms diminish due to hormonal changes, whereas the endometrial lining undergoes decidualization in response to …
Current guidelines recommend laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometrioma (OMA) ≥4 cm before fertility treatment, yet cystectomy inevitably damages ovarian reserve. While recent large-scale studies have confirmed that cystectomy reduces antimüllerian …
The pharmacological treatment of endometriosis using SPRMs requires improvement. The pure PR-agonist dienogest (DNG), a clinically established progestin, can serve as a reference compound for comparison. Its efficacy and safety …
Alcohol sclerotherapy has been shown to reduce endometrioma recurrence and improve ovarian response, including the number of retrieved oocytes and antral follicle count (AFC), compared with surgical cystectomy. This randomized …
Presence of embryo-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in spent culture medium (SCM) represents a promising non-invasive alternative to the conventional preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). The present study evaluated the feasibility of …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects around 10% of women of reproductive age and is frequently associated with infertility. Despite its high prevalence in assisted reproductive technology (ART) …
The anion exchanger 1 (AE1), traditionally known for its role in erythrocyte anion transport and acid-base homeostasis, has recently been identified in non-erythroid tissues, suggesting broader physiological functions. In the …
