Ovarian endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by extensive tissue remodeling and fibrosis, which significantly impacts female reproductive health. This study demonstrates that ectopic endometrium (Ect) in patients with …
Various studies have reported aberrant function of the immune system in endometriosis. This highly prevalent disease can initiate and progress by numerous genetic and epigenetic alterations that affect immune system …
Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis; however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. …
Recurrent hemorrhagic pleural effusion presents as a challenge for both the clinician and the patient, with common causes being tuberculosis, malignancy, and collagen vascular diseases. Among uncommon causes of recurrent …
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by chronic pelvic inflammation, but the etiology of this inflammation remains poorly understood. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), whereby senescent cells secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, is a …
There is a higher density of immune cells in peritoneal fluid than is found in blood. Thus, any perturbations, from sterile injury to endometriosis to ovarian cancer, require immune cells …
Endometriosis is associated with chronic pelvic pain, largely due to immune dysregulation within the peritoneal cavity. The activation status of peritoneal immune cells is not well understood, and comparisons with …
A woman in her 30s was admitted with 6 months of progressive shortness of breath and cyclical bilateral pleuritic chest pain associated with heavy, painful menstruation. She had a history …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue and is closely associated with pain and infertility. This review summarizes current evidence on immune dysregulation …
Postoperative recurrence remains a major obstacle to durable remission in patients with solid tumors, even after complete macroscopic resection. Growing evidence suggests that surgery creates a transient yet highly permissive …
