Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease including aberrant local steroidogenesis, inflammation, angiogenesis, oxidative stress, and prostaglandin-mediated pain. Given the elevated adrenergic receptor expression in endometriotic lesions and the potential …
Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign cystic lesions typically observed in women of reproductive age with prior pelvic surgery, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. To date, no cases of PICs …
Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome was first identified by Purslow in 1922 as a result of abnormal embryologic development of the Müllerian (paramesonephric) and Wolffian (mesonephric) ducts. The …

Can the transcriptomic profile of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from menstrual fluid (MF) provide preliminary insights into their potential roles as biomarkers and mediators in endometriosis (EM) progression?
Background: Endometriosis is a major cause of female infertility. It significantly impacts oocyte quality and embryonic development. The condition's pathophysiological mechanisms are multifactorial. However, they are believed to be reflected …
