Endometriosis is a complex condition affecting 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide, yet its study has long been hindered by the shortcomings of traditional research models. This review aims to propose …
Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a pelvic lesion-centered disease; however, mounting evidence indicates it is a chronic, systemic, and multifactorial inflammatory disorder. This review examines the molecular dialog between ectopic …
Chronic low-grade inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to female infertility. Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 are observed in ovarian conditions including …
Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition …
This study investigateted the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS) into ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) using spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) integration. Tissues with coexisting EMS and OCCC …
In women, cardiovascular risk is influenced by factors that differ from those in men, including hormonal status, obstetric complications, and specific conditions such as migraine, endometriosis, or chronic inflammatory diseases. …
Infertility constitutes a major global health concern, affecting approximately 17.5% of couples of reproductive age. Although advances in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have expanded treatment options, success rates remain highly …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory, estrogen-dependent disease that has historically been underdiagnosed, especially in patients with unexplained infertility. On average, diagnosis is delayed by 11 years, underscoring the need …
Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles that mediate intercellular communication by transporting microRNAs, proteins, and lipids. Generated through Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT)-dependent mechanisms or ESCRT-independent pathways, exosomes are …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder. Cholesterol (CHO) has been reported to be closely associated with estrogen synthesis and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the effects of cholesterol …
