Gynecologic postoperative adhesions (GPOA) remain an under-appreciated source of morbidity despite advances in minimally invasive surgery. Adhesions forming after myomectomy, extensive endometriosis excision, repeat caesarean section, or hysteroscopic adhesiolysis develop …
Endometrial regeneration is a cornerstone of reproductive health, with the extracellular matrix (ECM) playing a pivotal role in tissue repair, regeneration, and fertility restoration. Dysregulated ECM remodeling is at the …
Organ functions generally decline with age, but the ovary is a prototypical organ that undergoes functional loss over time. Autophagy plays a crucial role in maintaining organ homeostasis, and age-related …
The endometrium, essential for reproduction, undergoes cyclical shedding, remodeling, and regeneration. Using a large endometrial transcriptomic dataset (n = 206), we identified RNA splicing and transcript isoform-level changes across the …
Role of SMOC2 in adenomyosis: implications for ECM remodeling and EMT pathogenesis BMC Women's Health
Ovarian endometriomas (OEMs), cystic formations within the ovaries, are a significant manifestation of endometriosis and present in 20-40% of affected women. Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear, …
Endometriosis, a non-malignant gynecological disorder characterized by debilitating symptoms, displays several cancer-like characteristics, including metastatic behavior and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. The dynamics of ECM are largely influenced by proteoglycans …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite its prevalence and significant impact on women's health, the underlying mechanisms …
The impact of endometriosis and adenomyosis on reproduction and pregnancy is significant, with both conditions linked to increased rates of infertility, poor ovarian function in women with endometriosis, and elevated …
The uterus is a complex organ that requires precise signaling networks to mediate functions necessary for homeostasis and reproductive processes. The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily regulates integral signaling …
