Despite decades of research, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear. Recent studies have shown that microRNAs play an important role in this condition. In this study, we found that the …
Endometrial stromal cell decidualization is required for pregnancy success. Although this process is integral to fertility, many of the intricate molecular mechanisms contributing to decidualization remain undefined. One pathway that …
Endometriosis (EMT) is a common gynecological disease with a strong genetic component, while its precise etiology remains elusive. This study aims to integrate transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS), Mendelian randomization (MR), …
This study investigated the correlation of Apolipoprotein-B mRNA-editing complex 3B (APOBEC3B) expression with hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) …
The GATA gene family encodes highly conserved zinc-finger transcription factors that facilitate the development and function of multiple organ systems including the uterus. In the endometrium, GATA2 functions in a …
Adenomyosis involves the infiltration of endometrial glands and stroma deep into the uterine tissue, causing disruption to the endometrial-myometrial interface (EMI). The role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) has been extensively studied …
Are genetic effects on endometrial gene expression tissue specific and/or associated with reproductive traits and diseases?
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death process characterized by the accumulation of lethal oxidative damage. Localized iron overload is a unique clinical phenomenon in ovarian endometriosis (EM). However, the …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynecological disorder with an urgent need of a reliable non-invasive diagnostic strategy. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using the contents of exosomes, especially …
Understanding of molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, and upstream drivers of lesion formation, remains limited. Using a C57Bl/6 mouse model in which decidualized endometrial tissue is injected …
