Endometriosis and uterine leiomyomas are common chronic gynecologic diseases associated with immune dysregulation, inflammation and aberrant cellular proliferation, processes that contribute to increased oxidative stress. Current management relies largely on …
The uterus is an essential organ for fetal development in most mammals. Uterine glands, highly conserved structures in the mammalian uterus, play critical roles in the establishment and maintenance of …
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 …
Benign uterine disorders, including uterine leiomyomas and uterine endometriosis/adenomyosis-related conditions, are common causes of gynecologic morbidity and represent an important women's health issue. Although these conditions are generally non-malignant, a …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disease defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Ovarian EMS is considered the most prevalent disease phenotype. However, the causal …
Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare condition characterized by histologically benign smooth muscle tumours arising at extrauterine sites, most commonly the lungs, in women with a history of uterine …
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 condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite significant advances in understanding its pathophysiology, the clinical management of endometriosis remains …
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 …
