Female infertility, affecting millions worldwide, involves complex molecular mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, impaired cellular death, and protein regulation. This study explores how the cytokine IL-6, the autophagy marker LC3, …
Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition impacting 5-10% of reproductive-age women, commonly resulting in debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. Despite extensive research efforts, the precise underlying pathophysiology remains largely …
Thoracic endometriosis syndrome is a rare form of endometriosis in which endometrial tissue is thought to migrate to the lungs and, with the onset of menstruation, the ectopic foci bleed, …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a persistent inflammatory condition whose three main symptoms, mass, pain, and infertility, severely affect female patients of childbearing age. Hu-Po-San (HPS), a preparation consisting of various herbal …
While infections have been implicated in endometriosis pathogenesis, the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) remains unclear. This study combined a meta-analysis of seven studies with a case-control study ( n …
Ferroptosis is a novel kind of regulated cell death that occurs when redox equilibrium is disrupted, leading to iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is defined by the buildup of deleterious lipid …
Dienogest (DNG) is widely used to manage endometriosis-associated pain; however, long-term data comparing low and standard doses are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease, and hormonal treatment is the most common treatment. Both deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and ovarian endometrioma (OV) are characterized by dense surrounding fibrotic tissue. However, …
Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress is a critical factor in the development and progression of endometriosis. Granulosa cells, which reside near oocytes in follicles, exhibit steroidogenic activity, and, consequently, influence oocyte quality. …
Steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs) are master regulators of nuclear receptor signaling and play essential roles in female reproductive physiology. By integrating steroid hormone signaling with growth factors and metabolic pathways, …
