Endometriosis Uncovered: From Chronic Inflammation to Reproductive Dysfunction and Impaired ART Outcomes.

Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue, comprising both glandular and stromal components, located outside the uterine cavity, affecting approximately …

Phenotypic and Functional Characterisation of Primary Endometriotic Stromal Cells for In Vitro Model Development - EMJ

miR-769-5p inhibits cellular behaviors associated with endometriosis progression by directly targeting follistatin in vitro.

The pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM) remains intricate and multifactorial. This study aimed to investigate the biological functions of microRNA-769-5p (miR-769-5p) in an in vitro model of EM. Serum was obtained …

Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs in female reproductive disorders: emerging roles and clinical implications.

Female reproductive disorders present significant challenges worldwide. Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), a structurally diverse class of non-coding RNAs mainly comprising tRNA halves (tiRNAs) and tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs), have emerged …

NET-DNA Activates the ANXA2/TMEM215/BiP Axis to Promote Mitophagy-Mediated Anoikis Resistance in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) features ectopic implantation of endometrial stromal cells (EESCs) and strong anoikis resistance, yet how inflammatory signals reprogram mitochondrial function remains unclear. Here, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), particularly their …

Single-Cell Transcriptomic Profiling and Machine Learning Integration Unveil Stromal Cell Heterogeneity in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide, yet its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Abnormal cell differentiation and somatic mutations in the ectopic endometrial microenvironment play critical roles in …

A Case of Spontaneous Umbilical Endometriosis.

Umbilical endometriosis, also known as Villar's nodule, is an atypical manifestation of endometriosis. We present a rare case of spontaneous Villar's nodule in a young, nulliparous woman with no history …

Integrated single-cell and spatial transcriptomics reveal divergent immunological and stromal programs in peritoneal versus ovarian endometriosis.

Macrophage membrane-biomimetic nanovehicles delivering amygdalin halt pyroptosis propagation and alleviate endometriosis-associated neuropathic pain.

The clinical management of endometriosis encounters a significant obstacle: existing therapies inadequately address both the inhibition of ectopic lesion proliferation and the mitigation of the neuroinflammation associated with chronic pain. …

Curcumin modulates the function of SPP1+ macrophages via NF-κB signaling to alleviate endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder with prominent cellular heterogeneity, and its key pathogenic cell subsets and core molecular mechanisms remain elusive, which restricts the development of effective therapeutic strategies. …
