Endometriosis subtypes and risk of type 2 diabetes: the Advancing Research on Cardiovascular Health and Endometriosis Study (ARCHES) retrospective cohort study.

Endometriosis is a heterogeneous inflammatory condition that may influence long-term metabolic health. Prior studies have reported largely null associations with type 2 diabetes, potentially missing subtype-specific and subgroup heterogeneity. We …

Endometriosis as a Silent Emerging Malignant Threat in Young Women: A Case Report of Rare Rapid Transformation of Abdominal Wall Endometriosis Into Mixed High-Grade Serous and Clear Cell Carcinoma One Year Following Cesarean Section.

Abdominal wall endometriosis most commonly occurs in cesarean section (CS) scars. Although malignant transformation is rare, clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is the most commonly reported histological subtype. We present an …

Cepharanthine Reduces Endometriosis Lesions and Alters Mitochondrial and Autophagy-Related Signals in Endometriotic Stromal Cells.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, leading to pelvic pain and infertility. Although cepharanthine has well-established anti-inflammatory properties, its therapeutic potential and …

Recent insights in pathogenesis of endometriosis with focus on gut microbiota.

EMs is a chronic, estrogen-dependent systemic inflammatory disorder defined by the ectopic implantation of endometrial glands and stroma and is frequently associated with dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and substantial …

Letter regarding Griffiths et al. "Anti-Müllerian hormone decreased in women with superficial peritoneal endometriosis and associated with an elevated inflammatory profile".

Low-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy is associated with reduced inflammation and fibrosis in an E2-induced rat model of endometriosis and remains effective under menopause-mimicking conditions.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder marked by ectopic lesions, chronic pelvic inflammation, and frequent recurrence. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive modality with anti-inflammatory and regenerative potential, …

Microplastics and female infertility: reproductive toxicity and underlying mechanisms.

In modern society, the progression of ovarian aging in women has accelerated, and the incidence of infertility has increased markedly with a distinct younger-onset trend. Exploring the etiology and pathogenesis …

Immune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of endometriosis: a comprehensive analysis of the role of NK cells, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles/exosomes.

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Retrograde menstruation is widely accepted as a primary mechanism for ectopic endometrial seeding; however, only …

Superficial Peritoneal Endometriosis Beyond Surgical Diagnosis: A Narrative Review of Emerging Functional and Molecular Perspectives.

Background and Objectives: Superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) remains one of the most difficult endometriosis phenotypes to diagnose non-invasively, because lesions are frequently small, multifocal, and poorly detectable using conventional imaging. …

Expression Profiling of Immune-Related Genes in Different Samples from Patients with Endometriosis Revealed Upregulation of THBS1, CHGB and CYR61.

Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory, estrogen-dependent disease that affects approximately 6-10% of women of reproductive age. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of 48 immune-related genes in different …
