Umbilical endometriosis, or Villar's nodule, is a rare form of cutaneous endometriosis in which ectopic endometrial tissue involves the umbilical skin. It may occur without any history of abdominal or …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and characterized by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth. Although traditionally considered a benign gynecological condition, increasing …
Phthalate esters (PAEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) are pervasive 20 environmental pollutants with endocrine-disrupting properties. Despite growing 21 evidence linking PAE/OPE exposure to female reproductive disorders, the 22 diseasespecific molecular …
Iron overload induces cellular stress and is implicated in diverse pathological conditions. Nevertheless, the epigenetic mechanisms governing mammalian cellular responses to iron overload remain poorly characterized. Using multi-omics profiling in …
Uterine pain associated with labor, dysmenorrhea, or endometriosis is often driven by inflammation, which enhances nociceptive signaling and contributes to hyperalgesia. Although nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and glucocorticoids are commonly …
Estradiol (E2), a sex steroid hormone molecule, plays a key role in regulating the actin and shape dynamics of cells in a multitude of normal and pathophysiological conditions. While cytoskeletal …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a global concern for human health and the environment. EDCs include plasticizers, pharmaceutical agents, industrial chemicals, fungicides, and pesticides. Thus, EDC exposure is a manmade consequence …
Endometriosis is characterized by enhanced cellular proliferation, migration, and resistance to apoptosis, contributing to lesion persistence and progression. Targeting cellular plasticity and mesenchymal-associated functions may therefore represent a promising therapeutic …
