Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It affects ~10% of reproductive-aged individuals and is associated with dysmenorrhea and infertility. Although …
Background: Background: Endometriosis affects 10% of women of reproductive age. Despite the well-known association between endometriosis and infertility, the mechanisms underlying this association remain to be elucidated. Methods: Implantation and …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease with heterogeneous clinical manifestations and uncertain systemic immune involvement. This study aimed to characterize peripheral immune profiles and circulating tumor markers in women …
We conducted a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of endometriosis and adenomyosis in almost 1.4 million women, including 105,869 cases, aiming to expand endometriosis loci discovery across ancestries, dissect symptom-specific effects, …
Autophagy is a highly conserved eukaryotic process that degrades cytoplasmic material within lysosomes, and plays a crucial role in cellular development, function and homeostasis. Recent studies have increasingly revealed the …
Pathogenesis of endometriosis (EN) is still unknown, but growing evidence suggests that immune regulation may be important, and the pattern of peripheral immune changes in reproductive women with EN has …
Understanding of molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, and upstream drivers of lesion formation, remains limited. Using a C57Bl/6 mouse model in which decidualized endometrial tissue is injected …
