Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition …
This study investigateted the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS) into ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) using spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) integration. Tissues with coexisting EMS and OCCC …
Inflammatory resolution is essential for tissue health, yet its dynamics remain difficult to study in humans. Menstruation is a recurrent, non-pathological inflammatory process that provides a natural window into inflammation …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This study aimed to identify EDC-responsive genes contributing to endometriosis risk by integrating …
With each menstrual cycle, endometrial cells rapidly proliferate and decidualize in preparation for pregnancy. Such rapid proliferation generates replication stress and results in DNA damage with irreparable cells undergoing senescence. …
Studies have shown that the iron concentration in the peritoneal fluid of women is associated with the severity of endometriosis. Therefore, investigation of iron metabolism-related genes (IM-RGs) in endometriosis holds …
Endometriosis (E) is multifactorial disease affecting around 10% of women worldwide. The association between E and infertility is clinically well recognized. For E patients to achieve a successful pregnancy, assisted …
Equine endometrosis is a chronic degenerative condition with fibrosis being one of the most significant characteristics. A growing body of evidence indicates the critical role of interleukin (IL)-17 in fibrotic …
Infertility is a growing global challenge, with ARTs significantly improving birth rates for infertile couples. However, ART conceptions are associated with a higher risk of negative obstetrical and perinatal outcomes, …
Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by TET3 overexpression (Toe-Macs) in three major human diseases associated …
