Female reproductive disorders (FRDs), including polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, uterine leiomyomata, and infertility, have been epidemiologically associated with impaired pulmonary function. However, it remains unclear whether this cross-organ link reflects …
Rural, regional and remote (henceforth 'rural') communities face unique health challenges, including limited access to health care, workforce shortages, and higher disease burden. Consumer and community involvement is essential for …
Endometriosis (EuE) is a chronic, incurable disease. Due to limited efficacy, high recurrence rates, and serious side effects of current treatments, development of new, targeted, nonhormonal therapies is urgently needed. …
Single-cell RNA sequencing is a state-of-the-art approach to decipher the heterogeneity of RNA transcripts in individual cells and identify different cell types in tissues and organs. Its aim is to …
Endometrial organoids are a powerful, 3D in vitro system for studying reproductive function and disease since they are more physiologically representative than 2D cell models. However, optimal methods for the …
Background: This review aims to systematically summarize the lineage origins, subtype classification, and functional dynamics of endometrial macrophages, clarify their mechanisms of action in normal reproductive physiology (menstrual cycle, pregnancy) …
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory condition affecting around 10% of reproductive-age women, characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus. The effects of endometriosis include chronic pelvic …
Introduction. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which monocytes/macrophages play a key pathogenetic role. The peritoneal fluid (PF) cytokine profile can modulate recruited monocyte functions, determining their contribution to …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic gynecological disease with poorly understood pathogenesis. This study integrated lipidomics and transcriptomics to systematically investigate aberrant sphingolipid metabolism in EMs, aiming to identify pathogenic mechanisms …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with infertility in up to half of those diagnosed. Despite decades of research, the molecular basis of its …
