Exploring the impact of dietary theobromine on endometriosis risk: Evidence from Mendelian randomization and NHANES data.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder. Theobromine has been implicated in diverse health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory properties. However, the precise association between theobromine and endometriosis remains …

Closing the evidence loop-membrane-lipid homeostasis and vesicular transport link DEHP exposure to endometriosis.

The causal bridge from environmental exposure to endometriosis (Ems) biology remains incompletely defined. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is repeatedly implicated in elevated Ems risk, yet actionable molecular anchors linking exposure to …

Hormonal imbalance in umbilical vein cord blood of pregnant women with endometriosis: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Pregnancy involves a fine-tuned hormonal interplay between the fetus, placenta, and mother, which shapes long-term developmental outcomes. Endometriosis has been hypothesized to originate in utero due to altered fetal exposure …

Endometriosis - on the intersection of modern environmental pollutants and ancient genetic regulatory variants.

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-driven inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women globally. Despite increasing genomic insights into advanced-stage disease, the genetic underpinnings of early-stage endometriosis remain poorly understood, …

Mechanistic decoding of triclosan-induced endometriosis via network toxicology, Mendelian randomization, and molecular docking.

Associations of PFAS exposure with obstetric and birth outcomes in the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS): Is maternal endometriosis an effect modifier?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are reportedly associated with adverse obstetric outcomes, including premature labor and gestational diabetes. We aimed to evaluate associations of maternal PFAS exposure with obstetric and …

Nanodrug impact on female reproductive health and fetal development: From translation approaches to long-term safety concern.

Biomaterials for drug delivery offer significant advantages over conventional medications, including enhanced cellular uptake, improved drug stability, targeted delivery, and controlled drug release. Cutting-edge nanodrugs delivery approaches such as drugs …

Association between exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and reproductive health outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants with known harmful effects on human health. However, their specific impact on reproductive outcomes, both cancer-related and non-cancer-related, has not been comprehensively …

Integrative microbiome-metabolomics identifies Pseudomonas as a potential pathogenic factor in endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic disease characterized by unclear etiology, influenced by various genetic and environmental factors, with no definitive biomarkers available for early screening. Recent studies suggest that the …

The effect of phytoestrogens and PAHs on endometriosis and the involvement of gut microbiota, inflammation, and molecular targets.

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, yet its complex etiology is not fully understood. Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) exposure disrupts human reproduction, but studies on mixed EDCs and endometriosis …
