Background: Emerging evidence suggests that lipedema may share hormonal, inflammatory, and genetic mechanisms with gynecologic diseases, particularly endometriosis. However, the extent and nature of these interrelationships remain poorly characterized, supporting …
Pharmacogenetics is an emerging discipline that explores how genetic variants affect drug response, potentially leading to side effects or treatment failure. Although widely applied in other medical specialties, its use …
Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems provide physiologically relevant models that better replicate in vivo cell architecture and function compared to the conventional two-dimensional cultures. In reproductive biology, 3D models of endometrial …
Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent disease marked by ectopic endometrial growth. Although the PI3K/AKT and kisspeptin pathways are known to regulate endometrial homeostasis, their interplay in disease progression remains unclear. …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, leading to pelvic pain and infertility. It remains a major challenge in women's health due to …
Infertility constitutes a major global health concern, affecting approximately 17.5% of couples of reproductive age. Although advances in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have expanded treatment options, success rates remain highly …
Endometriosis is a complex disease that may affect a woman's fertility and quality of life. Owing to substantial variations in symptom severity, lesion distribution, and reproductive impact, its management presents …
Inflammatory resolution is essential for tissue health, yet its dynamics remain difficult to study in humans. Menstruation is a recurrent, non-pathological inflammatory process that provides a natural window into inflammation …
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 common gynaecological condition characterised by the growth of endometrial-like tissue both within the muscular layer of the uterus and outside of it, affecting 10-15 % of women …
