Endometriosis is the growth of endometrial-like tissue at non-uterine locations, primarily within the peritoneal cavity. The disease can have diverse presentations with superficial lesions, deep invading lesions and ovarian cysts …
The NOD-like receptor family containing pyridine domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome serves as a pivotal mediator of innate immune responses and a central driver of inflammatory processes. Upon detection of pathogenic …
Gynecologic disorders, such as cervical and ovarian tumors, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis, present significant clinical challenges due to frequent recurrence, emerging chemoresistance, and undesirable effects associated with prolonged hormonal treatments. …
Endometriosis is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial cells, leading to chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Epidemiological studies have associated exposure to dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), …
Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are a heterogeneous group of natural or synthetic chemicals capable of interfering with hormonal regulation. Widely present in plastics, cosmetics, pesticides, food packaging, and household products, they …
Monocytes, as essential components of the immune system, play a pivotal role in regulating immune responses throughout the menstrual cycle. Their cytokine secretion is integral to immune modulation, influencing processes …
This study investigates the proteomic profile of the fallopian tube following exposure to human sperm, with a focus on its role in sperm capacitation, final sperm maturation, successful fertilization, and …
The endometrium is a highly dynamic tissue central to female reproductive function, undergoing nearly 500 cycles of proliferation, differentiation, shedding, and regeneration throughout a woman's reproductive life. This remarkable regenerative …
Ovarian endometrioma (OMA), the most prevalent and clinically consequential subtype of endometriosis, represents a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial-like lesions. This condition manifests as progressive dysmenorrhea, ovarian reserve …
The female reproductive system (FRS) exhibits unique immunological characteristics, balancing defense against pathogens with tolerance to sperm and semi-allogeneic embryos. Key players include decidual natural killer (dNK) cells, immune checkpoint …
