Understanding of molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, and upstream drivers of lesion formation, remains limited. Using a C57Bl/6 mouse model in which decidualized endometrial tissue is injected …
This study aims to explore the alterations of dendritic cells (DCs) subpopulations in ectopic endometrial lesions and unveil the underlying mechanisms.
Non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are of significant concern due to their reproductive toxicity. Previous research reported a relationship between a single type of EDCs and endometriosis. Yet, evidence regarding mixed …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent chronic gynecological condition that depends on estrogen, marked by the presence of active endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterus. Although pathologically benign, it …
The cGAS-STING pathway has become a crucial role in the detection of cytosolic DNA and the initiation of immune responses. The cGAS-STING pathway not only mediates protective immune defense against …
Infertility affects approximately 15-20% of couples globally, with female factors contributing to nearly half of cases. Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, tubal damage and premature ovarian failure are …
Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disorder characterized by the abnormal presence of endometrium-like cells, referred to as ectopic tissue, located outside the uterine cavity. Beyond the abnormal proliferation of endometrium-like …
Pyroptosis is an inflammatory cell death induced by inflammasomes that release several pro-inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-18 (IL-18) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Pyroptosis, a type of programmed cell death, has recently …
Shaofu Zhuyu decoction has been widely used to treat gynecological diseases; however, its mechanism of action in endometriosis remains unclear. We analyzed Shaofu Zhuyu decoction's chemical composition using ultra-high performance …
Background Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age globally. It is associated with significant morbidity due to symptoms such as pelvic pain …
