The GATA gene family encodes highly conserved zinc-finger transcription factors that facilitate the development and function of multiple organ systems including the uterus. In the endometrium, GATA2 functions in a …
Breast cancer, with its increasing incidence and high mortality rates, remains a major global health challenge, significantly impacting individuals, families, and societies. Understanding the multifactorial risk factors contributing to its …
Siloxanes, commonly known as silicones, are polymeric compounds made up of silicon and oxygen atoms bonded together alternately. Within this group of substances are linear methyl-siloxanes and cyclic methyl-siloxanes, with …
Background/Objectives: Patients with endometriosis still respond poorly to progestins due to progesterone resistance associated with microRNAs (miRNAs). The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of selected miRNAs, …
Tamoxifen (TAM), a selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator, has received approval for use in patients with breast cancer (BC) exhibiting positive ER expression. Given the widespread clinical use of TAM, …
Zearalenone (ZEA), has emerged as a potential endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC). Previous results show ZEA effects on endometrial stromal cell apoptosis, migration, and growth of endometriosis. Despite the reported presence of …
The lack of improvement in some endometriotic people's pain after surgery even while using hormone treatment may suggest an inappropriate response to routine hormonal therapies.
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent, proinflammatory disease that can cause various dysfunctions. The main clinical manifestations of endometriosis include chronic pelvic pain and impaired fertility. The disease is characterized by …
In this focused genetic case-control study, we analyzed two functional single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) associated with breast cancer risk (rs2046210, rs9383590) and one risk SNV for an implantation defect and infertility …
Melatonin, a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger, has been demonstrated to be effective in gynecological conditions and female reproductive cancers. This review consolidates the accumulating evidence on melatonin's multifaceted …
