Endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are common, multifactorial gynecological disorders shaped by endocrine imbalance, immune dysfunction, metabolic disruption, genetic susceptibility, and environmental exposures. Despite their major contribution to infertility …
Endometriosis affects a large number of women of reproductive age, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. It causes severe chronic pelvic pain, which is often misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, …
The perception that hormonal contraception causes weight gain is a general belief that frequently hinders the initiation and continuation of effective family planning. This narrative review analyses data from Cochrane …
Endometriosis (EM) is associated with immune dysregulation, while dysfunction of natural killer (NK) cells is regarded as a key mechanism underlying immune escape and the persistent growth of ectopic lesions.
Precision medicine applications depend on elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms of disease. However, many disorders, such as endometriosis, remain poorly characterised genetically due to data scarcity, positive-unlabelled (PU) imbalance, and …
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is considered to participate in regulating the endometriosis (EM) process. However, other functions and mechanisms of BDNF in EM progression still need to be further studied.
Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease with pandemic-level prevalence, characterized by excessive or abnormal fat accumulation, dysregulation of body homeostasis, and chronic low-grade inflammation. This complex comorbidity shares some etiological …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium. Achieving effective therapeutic outcomes for endometriosis has always been a significant clinical hurdle because of the high …
This study investigated how chronic pelvic pain (CPP) develops using rhesus macaques with naturally occurring endometriosis and a multiple-lesion induction mouse model (MIM), as repeated retrograde menstruation is considered an …
