Endometriosis (EM) is associated with immune dysregulation, while dysfunction of natural killer (NK) cells is regarded as a key mechanism underlying immune escape and the persistent growth of ectopic lesions.
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder frequently associated with infertility and characterized by progesterone resistance and impaired endometrial receptivity. While ectopic lesions define the disease, accumulating evidence indicates that molecular …
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is considered to participate in regulating the endometriosis (EM) process. However, other functions and mechanisms of BDNF in EM progression still need to be further studied.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium. Achieving effective therapeutic outcomes for endometriosis has always been a significant clinical hurdle because of the high …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder marked by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, often leading to pelvic pain, inflammation, and infertility. Despite its global prevalence, diagnosis remains …
Following the publication of the above paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that, regarding the histopathological images shown in Fig. 3 on p. 90, …
Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been …
Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a chronic estrogen dependent disorder where ectopic endometrial-like tissue causes pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis is challenging to diagnose due to symptom …
Endometriosis-associated intestinal tumors (EAITs) are rare malignancies that arise from ectopic endometrial tissue, and their clinical and molecular characteristics remain poorly defined.
The origin of ectopic gynecologic lesions has been debated since 1927, when Sampson first proposed retrograde menstruation as the underlying cause of endometriosis. Reproduction in mammals is an unusually permissive …
