We investigated whether ovarian endometriomas uniformly express functional FSH receptors (FSHR) and respond to FSH by activating transcriptional programs that drive aromatase and steroid hormone production. Endometrioma cyst capsules were …
Endometriosis (EM) is driven by immune dysregulation and macrophage dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, metabolomic profiling revealed excessive itaconate accumulation in EM lesions, primarily due to elevated …
The present review aims to ascertain whether reproductive disorders are associated with specific physical, mental, personality, and social traits. This information may be used to support or reject the hypothesis …
Background: The individual and social burden of endometriosis is high, and the diagnosis is usually delayed by 7-10 years. Menstrual effluent (ME) represents an accessible and uniquely informative biofluid. This …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It affects approximately 10-15% of women of reproductive age globally and is characterized …
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a clinically heterogeneous autoimmune disease with multifactorial pathogenesis. Although polygenic risk scores (PRSs) have been developed to enable early prediction, their accuracy remains limited. To …
We present a case of a very rare benign ovarian tumor, a sclerosing stromal tumor (SST). In addition, we performed a review of the literature to describe the spectrum of …
Female reproductive disorders represent a major global health challenge. Despite their clinical heterogeneity, these conditions share core pathological mechanisms including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, extracellular matrix …
The present study aimed to investigate the association between two MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs63749795 and rs63749820, and the risk of endometriosis.
