We report the findings of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of endometriosis across 14 biobanks worldwide, including 32% non-European patient participants, as part of the Global Biobank Meta-Analysis Initiative …
Mules (Equus mulus), as sterile hybrids between mares and donkeys, present a unique uterine morphology and physiology that remains poorly characterized. This study provides the first histomorphometric evaluation and transcriptional …
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to investigate molecular differences among peritoneal, ovarian, bowel endometriosis phenotypes and control tissues. Peritoneal lesions showed the most pronounced spectral changes in CH-stretching (2800-3000 …
Endometriosis, a disease affecting about one out of ten women, is characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. There is significant disease heterogeneity, but the pathophysiological …
Can patient-derived organoid models be reliably established from diverse surgical phenotypes of endometriosis, and how do clinical factors such as hormonal treatment affect their growth success and morphology?
The causal bridge from environmental exposure to endometriosis (Ems) biology remains incompletely defined. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is repeatedly implicated in elevated Ems risk, yet actionable molecular anchors linking exposure to …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common and burdensome symptom in women yet current clinical management frequently leaves many with persistent pain. The Translational Research in Pelvic Pain (TRiPP) project …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with poorly understood mechanisms. Inflammatory proteins are hypothesized to play a causal role, but evidence remains limited. We performed a 2-sample Mendelian randomization study …
VDR uterine conditional knockout mice showed an endometrial fibrosis phenotype. (IMAGE) EurekAlert!
Endometriosis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), a response involved in regulating protein homeostasis, has been linked to its pathogenesis. To identify …
