Background: Inflammation and immune cell dysfunction are critical facilitators of endometriosis pathophysiology. Macrophages are renowned for stimulating lesion growth, vascularization, innervation, and pain generation. By combining macrophages and endometriotic cells, …
P2X3 and P2X2/3 receptors are promising therapeutic targets for pain treatment and selective inhibitors are under evaluation in ongoing clinical trials. Here we aim to consolidate and quantitatively evaluate the …
Thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine malignancy. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is its predominant subtype, which is responsible for the vast majority of cases. It is true …
Surgical intervention for endometriosis is an important treatment modality, yet incomplete resection resulting from poor visibility of affected tissue and consequently recurrence of disease remains a prevalent challenge. Intra-operative visualization …
Metabolic syndrome (MS), a cluster of cardiometabolic disorders, and sexual dysfunction are two conditions that impact a large proportion of the general population. Although they can occur independently, they are …
Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent disease that involves various cellular processes. Additionally, miRNAs play a crucial role in the development of the disease as an important component of the microenvironment. …
Background/Objectives: Patients with endometriosis still respond poorly to progestins due to progesterone resistance associated with microRNAs (miRNAs). The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of selected miRNAs, …
P21-activated kinase 5 (PAK5) belongs to the PAK-II subfamily, which is an important regulator of cell survival, adhesion, and motility. However, the functions of PAK5 in endometriosis remain unclear. Here, …
Endometriosis seriously affects 6-10 % of reproductive women globally and poses significant clinical challenges. The process of ectopic endometrial cell colonization shares similarities with cancer, and a dysfunctional immune microenvironment, …
