The female reproductive tract (FRT), particularly the vagina, has traditionally been regarded as a sterile environment. However, it is now recognized that the vagina is a complex, dynamic ecosystem dominated …
Ceramide, a central hub in sphingolipid metabolism, serves as a critical bioactive signalling mediator that integrates lipid metabolism with multiple signalling pathways, primarily promoting autophagy and apoptosis. It influences female …
A trend toward comorbid conditions is seen in around 50% of gynecological patients, with a significant contribution made by endometriosis as a common and incurable gynecological condition. Over the last …
Bowel dysfunction is a common and debilitating condition affecting patients with endometriosis. Despite the extent of surgery, symptoms may persist or arise, often overlapping with low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) …
Background: Endometriosis affects 10-15% of reproductive-aged women and is a leading cause of infertility through anatomical, inflammatory, and molecular mechanisms. Objective: This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathophysiology of …
Endometriosis is an inflammatory gynecologic disease characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, resulting in pelvic pain and infertility. T-helper 9 (Th9) cells play a known role in various chronic …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation and persistence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite its high prevalence and significant impact on quality …
Estrogen stimulates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in endometrial tissue, and CRH signaling contributes to inflammation and pain, suggesting a mechanistic role in endometriosis pathophysiology. We previously identified elevated CRH receptor-1 …
Endometriosis, affecting 1 in 9 women, presents treatment and diagnostic challenges. To address these issues, we generated a comprehensive single-cell atlas of endometrial tissue, comprising 466,371 cells from 35 endometriosis …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and characterized by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth. Although traditionally considered a benign gynecological condition, increasing …
