Biomaterials for endometriosis treatment: Design, advances, and prospects.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium. Achieving effective therapeutic outcomes for endometriosis has always been a significant clinical hurdle because of the high …

Autophagy and Lysosomal Dysregulation in Endometriosis: Therapeutic Opportunities and Molecular Insights.

Exploring endometriosis through 3D in vitro models: A narrative review.

Endometriosis is a prevalent inflammatory disease affecting approximately one in ten women, characterized by endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Despite its high incidence, treatment options are limited, and the underlying …

Risk factors for acute pain after transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval: a retrospective study (2023-2024).

Transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval is required for assisted reproductive technology. This is a short and minimally invasive, but painful procedure. There are no clinical guidelines on optimal pain management. We …

Physical Activity, Metabolic Dysfunction, and the Kynurenine Pathway in Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Literature Review.

Endometriosis and PCOS are both leading causes of female infertility, each affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide. Both conditions markedly impair quality of life by affecting physical health, emotional …

Novel approaches for PET imaging of endometriosis.

Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a chronic estrogen dependent disorder where ectopic endometrial-like tissue causes pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis is challenging to diagnose due to symptom …

Exosome-Enriched Hub Gene Networks Identify Diagnostic Biomarkers and Repurposable Therapeutic Targets in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory disorder associated with substantial diagnostic delay and limited therapeutic options, highlighting the need of robust non-invasive biomarkers and actionable molecular targets to complement existing …

Association between estrogen receptor alpha 36 expression and the risk of deep infiltrating endometriosis.

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe subtype of endometriosis, often associated with dysmenorrhea and significant diagnostic challenges. Conventional biomarkers, such as cancer antigen 125 (CA125), lack sufficient specificity for …

TRPM3 mediates spontaneous pain and mechanical allodynia in a mouse model of chronic orofacial neuropathy.

Trigeminal nerve injury can lead to chronic and difficult-to-treat orofacial neuropathic pain. Here, we uncover a key role for the cation channel TRPM3 in the chronic constriction injury of the …

TCF21 promotes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and cytoskeleton reorganization in uterine development and endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Despite several existing theories, the etiology and molecular mechanisms of endometriosis remain to be investigated. Here we report …
