Ionic liquid-coated gold core polymeric nanoparticles for selective neutrophil hitchhiking towards endometriosis treatment.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological condition that affects millions of women and people with uteri globally, with limited available treatments. In this work, we explore using ionic liquid (IL)-coated …

Neutrophil extracellular traps in gynecological disease: pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities.

Gynecologic disorders, including infections, sterile inflammatory diseases, endocrine abnormalities, and malignancies, share a common signature of dysregulated immunity within a uniquely hormone-responsive reproductive tract. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are increasingly …

Plasma extracellular vesicle modulate immune cell transcriptional responses following acute myocardial infarction.

Plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) increase during acute myocardial infarction (MI), correlate with myocardial injury, and mobilize immune cells from the spleen to the circulation. These cells are transcriptionally activated even …

Association between the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio and pelvic adhesion severity in endometriosis: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

Preoperative assessment of the severity of pelvic adhesions in endometriosis remains challenging. Inflammation may drive adhesion formation, and the predictive value of the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR, the ratio multiplied …

Intraperitoneal translocation of gut microbiota induces NETosis and promotes endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a debilitating gynaecological disorder with an elusive pathogenesis. While gut microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated, the causal role of gut-peritoneum microbial translocation and the specific mechanisms driving disease …

Can hematological and biochemical parameters clinically predict the diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis?

Integrating inflammatory biomarkers and demographic variables with machine learning to predict endometriosis risk.

This study explores the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and the risk of endometriosis, aiming to develop a predictive model using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2006) data. The dataset …

Extracellular Trap-Related Genes as Potential Diagnostic Biomarkers for Endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EM), a prevalent gynecological disorder in reproductive-age women, lacks reliable noninvasive diagnostic tools. EM may be detected by neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which are essential to inflammation and immunological …

Systemic inflammation indices measured shortly before delivery are not associated with preterm birth in pregnant women with endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition, typically associated with pelvic pain and menorrhagia, affecting 10% of women of reproductive age. Inflammation is known to contribute to pregnancy complications, including preterm …

Reframing Endometriosis: Interplay of NETs, Macrophages, and Lymphocytes at the Crossroads of Disease Progression, Infertility, and Malignant Transformation.

Endometriosis (ENDO) is a painful, chronic gynecological disease widely affecting women globally. While traditionally classified as a hormonal disorder, ENDO is now increasingly recognized as a multifaceted immune-mediated syndrome driven …
