Background Endometriosis is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic proliferation of endometrial cells, resulting in chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been implicated in …
Decidualization is the transformation of endometrial stromal cells into functionally specialized cells during the early stages of pregnancy. Occurring in mammals that develop invasive hemochorial placentae, decidualization is a pivotal …
Infertility is a growing global challenge, with ARTs significantly improving birth rates for infertile couples. However, ART conceptions are associated with a higher risk of negative obstetrical and perinatal outcomes, …
Immune-related factors may serve an important role in the development of endometriosis, considering the occurrence of substantial abnormalities in the immune system of women with endometriosis, including reduced T-cell reactivity …
Multi-omics data are instrumental in obtaining a comprehensive picture of complex biological systems. This is particularly useful for women's health conditions, such as endometriosis which has been historically understudied despite …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of women usually of reproductive age. It often has severe negative impacts on patients' quality of life, but the average time to a definitive diagnosis remains …
While epidemiological studies have associated endometriosis with ovarian cancer risk, the causal relationships across anatomic subtypes and histotypes remain undefined. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization with 84 genetic instruments (F-statistic = …
In mammals, insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) and its cognate receptor (RXFP2) are reported to be essential regulators of male reproductive physiology. It is also believed that INSL3/RXFP2 signaling has a …
Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by TET3 overexpression (Toe-Macs) in three major human diseases associated …
Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic gynecological disorder. Globally, endometriosis affects approximately 5-10% of women of reproductive age, leading to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. While the …
