Endometriosis as a Systemic and Complex Disease: Toward Phenotype-Based Classification and Personalized Therapy.

Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a pelvic lesion-centered disease; however, mounting evidence indicates it is a chronic, systemic, and multifactorial inflammatory disorder. This review examines the molecular dialog between ectopic …

The role of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins in TGF-β1-induced fibroblast-myofibroblast transition during endometriosis fibrosis.

Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition …

Transcriptomic landscape of coexisting ovarian clear cell carcinoma and endometriosis: Insights into malignant transformation.

This study investigateted the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS) into ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) using spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) integration. Tissues with coexisting EMS and OCCC …

IL-8 and follicular fluid: insights into the mechanisms of endometriosis development.

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 …

SLC25A1-Mediated Cholesterol Accumulation Promotes Endometriosis Progression by Enhancing Endometrial Stromal Cell Proliferation, Invasion, and M2 Macrophage Polarization.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder. Cholesterol (CHO) has been reported to be closely associated with estrogen synthesis and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the effects of cholesterol …

Research Advances in the Endometriotic Microenvironment: Synergistic Immune-Inflammatory-Angiogenic Interactions and their Therapeutic Translation.

Molecular and Immune Microenvironmental Changes Across Endometrial Lesions: A Comprehensive Immunohistochemical and Clinical Analysis of Progression From Benignity to Carcinoma.

Adenomyosis and endometriosis are estrogen-driven disorders with a recognized potential for malignant transformation, particularly through atypical endometriosis. The molecular and immune mechanisms underlying this progression remain incompletely understood. However, clinical …

Delayed onset of HPV-associated uterine malignancies: seven pathogenetic factors in contrast to cervical cancer.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a well-established etiological agent for cervical cancer, yet its contribution to endometrial malignancies remains underrecognized and mechanistically distinct. This paper synthesizes current evidence to explain the …

UBE2S-mediated deubiquitination of GLUT1 via USP10 regulates glucose metabolic reprogramming and immune microenvironment to promote fibrosis in endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by the growth of ectopic endometrial-like tissue and fibrosis. Metabolic reprogramming, particularly enhanced glycolysis, and immune microenvironment dysregulation are key features of …

The immunotherapy era in ovarian clear cell carcinoma: current evidence and future perspective.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a rare, aggressive epithelial ovarian cancer subtype, accounting for approximately 10% of cases and associated with a poor prognosis due to chemoresistance and unique …
