The microbiota constitutes a vital component of the human microenvironment, dynamically responding to physiological changes and playing crucial roles in maintaining normal bodily functions. Endometriosis (EMs), defined as a chronic, …
Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue growing outside of the uterus. One of its main symptoms is chronic pain and inflammation leading …
Endometriosis is a medical condition where endometrial tissue and glands are found outside the uterine cavity: on ovaries, pelvic peritoneum, rectovaginal septum, bladder, bowel and more. The ectopic tissue is …
Immune-related factors may serve an important role in the development of endometriosis, considering the occurrence of substantial abnormalities in the immune system of women with endometriosis, including reduced T-cell reactivity …
Katie Burns is helping uncover the role of the immune system in endometriosis-while managing her own disease.
Orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) is a member of the NR4A subfamily that was initially discovered as an intermediate early gene expressed in response to stressors, including inflammatory agents. This …
Sex-related differences influence key biological processes relevant to biomaterials research, including tissue regeneration, immune response, drug metabolism, and relevant diseases. Despite increasing recognition of sex as a critical biological variable, …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting women of reproductive age, often accompanied by chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Despite numerous studies, its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Increasing evidence indicates …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent condition affecting over 190 million women globally, characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue that leads to inflammation, pain, and infertility. Despite its prevalence, …
The immune system is hypothesized to contribute to the onset of endometriosis lesions. However, the precise mechanisms underlying its role are not yet known. We introduce a novel compartmental model …
