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.
Endometriosis is a prevalent inflammatory disease affecting approximately one in ten women, characterized by endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Despite its high incidence, treatment options are limited, and the underlying …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder marked by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, often leading to pelvic pain, inflammation, and infertility. Despite its global prevalence, diagnosis remains …
Traditional view holds that the uterus is a sterile environment. However, with the increased development of molecular biology technologies, this classical theory has been re-examined. Increasing evidence shows that a …
Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been …
Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a chronic estrogen dependent disorder where ectopic endometrial-like tissue causes pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis is challenging to diagnose due to symptom …
Infertility affects one in six individuals worldwide despite the advancement of assisted reproductive technologies. Successful embryo implantation is the first step of pregnancy, which relies on the establishment of a …
Endometriosis-associated intestinal tumors (EAITs) are rare malignancies that arise from ectopic endometrial tissue, and their clinical and molecular characteristics remain poorly defined.
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe subtype of endometriosis, often associated with dysmenorrhea and significant diagnostic challenges. Conventional biomarkers, such as cancer antigen 125 (CA125), lack sufficient specificity for …
