Research progress and potential therapeutic targets of a novel disulfide stress-driven cell death-disulfidptosis in gynecological tumors and other gynecological disorders.

Disulfidptosis is a novel Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADPH) deficiency-driven cell death pathway characterized by cystine overload and aberrant disulfide bond formation in actin cytoskeletal proteins, distinct from apoptosis, ferroptosis, …

Macrophages in endometriosis: key roles and emerging therapeutic opportunities-a narrative review.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. It commonly presents with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility, imposing substantial physical, psychological, and social burdens. …

Mechanism of vascular endothelial growth factor regulating hypoxia and inflammatory microenvironment in endometriosis: based on bioinformatics and multi-level validation.

Endometriosis remains a prevalent gynecological disorder that affects women during their reproductive years, featured by progressive inflammation and enhanced HIF-1α expression. This paper intended to plumb the mechanism of vascular …

Activated CD8(+) tissue-resident memory T cells impact the endometrial receptivity in minimal/mild endometriosis.

Endometrial immune disorders create an inhospitable endometrial environment for embryonic nidation in endometriosis. CD8 + tissue resident memory T cells (CD8 +TRM) are abundant tissue resident immune cells in endometrium, …

Molecular Pathogenesis of Ovarian Endometrioma: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Implications.

Ovarian endometrioma (OMA), the most prevalent and clinically consequential subtype of endometriosis, represents a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial-like lesions. This condition manifests as progressive dysmenorrhea, ovarian reserve …

The dual nature of immunotherapy in female reproductive disorders: immune homeostasis and clinical challenges.

The female reproductive system (FRS) exhibits unique immunological characteristics, balancing defense against pathogens with tolerance to sperm and semi-allogeneic embryos. Key players include decidual natural killer (dNK) cells, immune checkpoint …

Big data analysis reveals miR-874 as a suppressor and therapeutic target in the progression from endometriosis to ovarian cancer.

SPP1 as a key modulator of M2 macrophage polarization promotes endometriosis progression via activation of the FAK/PI3K/AKT pathway: A bioinformatics and experimental study.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation and an aberrant immune microenvironment. In this study, we integrated the GSE6364 dataset from the GEO database to identify differentially …

Erastin-induced multi-pathway cell death in endometriosis: a mechanistic and translational narrative review.

This narrative review examines the therapeutic potential of Erastin and its derivatives for endometriosis (EMS) by integrating mechanistic, preclinical, and translational perspectives. We conducted a focused review of literature from …

Pain pathways and stem cells in endometriosis pathogenesis.

As a gynecological disease, endometriosis is a disease in which pain and inflammation are important parts. Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-related situation with a multifactorial etiology that remains incompletely understood. …
