Endometriosis and ovarian cancer: epidemiological evidence, molecular insights, and clinical decision-making.
Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometrioma, is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), especially the clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, the absolute lifetime risk of OC in …
Nuclear factor IX promotes endometriosis progression through transcriptional activation of tetraspanin-2.
Endometriosis is a benign yet aggressive disease characterized by enhanced proliferation and invasion of ectopic endometrial tissue. Identifying upstream regulators that co-regulate these processes will provide novel insights into endometriosis …
Whole genome methylation profiling of menstrual stem cells identifies novel biomarkers for endometriosis.
Endometriosis, despite its high prevalence, is underdiagnosed and poorly managed due to lack of clinically validated biomarkers and pathophysiological insight. Menstrual blood-derived stem cells have been implicated in disease pathogenesis, …
