The female reproductive system is a hormonally driven, immune-active, and structurally dynamic system in which estrogen signaling, inflammation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling interact to support essential reproductive processes. Cyclical …
Endometriosis is one of the most common causes of chronic pelvic or lower-abdominal pain, yet mechanisms, predictors, and patient-centered treatment pathways remain insufficiently defined. This article summarizes the situation in …
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disorder characterized by impaired surfactant clearance due to alveolar macrophage dysfunction. Leuprorelin acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, is widely used in the …
The widespread use of plastic has led to exposure to chemicals like bisphenols (BPs), particularly bisphenol A (BPA), which are crucial in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. …
Accumulating observational evidence suggests an association between thyroid function and endometriosis, though the causal relationship remains unclear. To investigate potential bidirectional causal relationships, including for endometriosis subtypes, we conducted a …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease. Although several studies have suggested a key role for estrogen receptor ERβ in EMS lesion development, its detection has been challenged by …
The differences between adenomyosis subtypes in clinical features and reproductive outcomes remain largely unexplored. This study aimed to compare clinical features and reproductive outcomes after the first frozen embryo transfer …
The aim of this review was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ethanol sclerotherapy (EST) for ovarian endometriomas, regarding the risk of recurrence, impact on ovarian reserve, and comparison …
Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent condition affecting an estimated 190 million women worldwide. Our understanding of hormonal contributions to endometriosis pathophysiology is incomplete, hindering the identification of diagnostic biomarkers and …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue, progressive fibrosis and chronic pain, with a pathogenesis that goes beyond oestrogen dependence. The central question this review seeks …
