Chronic pelvic pain affects one in four women. Botulinum toxin, approved for chronic migraine and cervical dystonia pain, is an emerging treatment for other pain conditions. We evaluated intramuscular pelvic …
Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles that mediate intercellular communication by transporting microRNAs, proteins, and lipids. Generated through Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT)-dependent mechanisms or ESCRT-independent pathways, exosomes are …
Endometriosis is a chronic, oestrogen-dependent inflammatory condition affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age, frequently associated with chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea and infertility, substantially impairing quality of life. While …
(Abstracted from Contraception 2025:150:111016, doi:10.1016/j.contraception.2025.111016) Adenomyosis occurs when ectopic endometrial glands invade the myometrium and can cause symptoms such as an enlarged uterus, heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, infertility, and …
The likelihood of a successful pregnancy is influenced by a set of variables that influence endometrial receptivity, including hormonal, genetic, metabolic, age, lifestyle, and immunological factors. Among these, the endometrial …
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), particularly when associated with uterine leiomyomas, is a frequent cause of iron deficiency anemia among women of reproductive age. While commonly manageable, in rare instances, AUB …
The extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influences cell behavior, yet its properties in human endometrial lesions (HEL) and human uterine fibromas (HUF) are not well characterized. This study aimed to characterize …
The AFF2 gene encodes a protein involved in transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling. While primarily associated with Fragile X syndrome, AFF2 fusions have recently been identified in certain malignancies, mostly …
Endometriosis is a hormone dependent disease that often accompanies infertility. At present, the incidence rate of endometriosis is on the rise, but its pathogenesis and the mechanism leading to fertility …
The human microbiome, particularly the gut and reproductive tract microbiota, plays a critical role in regulating fertility through complex molecular and immunological mechanisms. This review synthesizes emerging evidence on the …
