To investigate the effects of microplastics (MPs) on the human endometrium in vitro.
The fibrosis mechanism in endometriosis is not elucidated. We investigated the role of eosinophil in fibrosis of endometriosis. The endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs) and endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) were subjected …
Endometriosis is a chronic multisystem disease caused by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the endometrial canal, inciting inflammation and fibrosis. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and MRI have replaced diagnostic laparoscopy …
Lipedema is a chronic, estrogen-sensitive adipose tissue disorder characterized by disproportionate subcutaneous fat accumulation, fibrosis, inflammation, and resistance to fat mobilization. Despite its high prevalence, lipedema remains poorly understood and …
The initiation of endometriotic lesions is not well understood or characterized because endometriosis is typically diagnosed at an advanced stage. Endometriotic lesions are most often found on pelvic tissues and …
A recent study has shown that myofibroblasts are primed for apoptosis when survival pathways are inhibited under fibrosis. This knowledge of apoptosis priming led to the development of methods to …
Ovarian endometriomas (OEMs), cystic formations within the ovaries, are a significant manifestation of endometriosis and present in 20-40% of affected women. Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear, …
Endometriosis is a benign condition characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis. We report the findings of endometriosis at the rectouterine pouch on 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT scan in a 25-year-old woman. The …
Endometrial dysfunction underlies many common gynecologic disorders, such as endometriosis, endometrial cancer, intrauterine adhesions, and endometritis, which affect many women around the world. Extracellular vesicles play an important role in …
Endometriosis, the most prevalent cause of infertility, is associated with anatomical distortion leading to adhesions and fibrosis, as well as endocrine abnormalities and immune disorders. This review discusses the mechanisms …
