Endometriosis (EMs) is a widespread gynecological disease, affecting approximately 6-10% of females of child-bearing age. Despite its significant influence on women's health, the specific pathophysiology remains unclear. The enrichment of …
How do unoperated ovarian endometriomas affect ovarian response during ovarian stimulation cycles?
This paper critically evaluates Sekiguchi et al.'s study of vaginal progesterone dose, serum progesterone thresholds, and reproductive outcomes in hormone replacement therapy frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) cycles. The study conflates …
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, oestrogen-responsive inflammatory disease characterised by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Because retrograde menstruation is common, lesion establishment probably requires cellular competence and a permissive ectopic …
Does the endometrium of oligo-ovulatory women with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) exhibit menstrual cycle phase-specific transcriptomic alterations compared to women without PMOS?
Background/Objectives: Primary renal endometriosis with extrapelvic locations of endometriosis lesions is deemed extremely rare. Therefore, the aim of this review was to assess the current literature on renal endometriosis, encompassing …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, leading to pelvic pain and infertility. Although cepharanthine has well-established anti-inflammatory properties, its therapeutic potential and …
Background/Objectives: The NLRP3 inflammasome-Caspase-1-IL-1β pyroptotic axis participates in peripheral inflammatory responses, yet its function in peripheral-central neuroimmune crosstalk underlying endometriosis (EM)-associated pain remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify whether …
