Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by the establishment and persistence of ectopic lesions, a process fundamentally dependent on aberrant angiogenesis. Endothelial cells (ECs) play a central role in this process; however, …
Plastics are ubiquitous in the environment and are widely used in food packaging, medicine, agriculture, construction and other sectors. However, the plasticizers they contain pose a substantial threat to environmental …
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 …
Presence of embryo-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in spent culture medium (SCM) represents a promising non-invasive alternative to the conventional preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). The present study evaluated the feasibility of …
The anion exchanger 1 (AE1), traditionally known for its role in erythrocyte anion transport and acid-base homeostasis, has recently been identified in non-erythroid tissues, suggesting broader physiological functions. In the …
Progesterone resistance in endometriosis reduces the efficacy of progestin. The non-classical progesterone receptor, progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) may regulate progesterone signaling in the normal endometrium, but its expression …
Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) have emerged as physiologically relevant three-dimensional (3D) culture systems that closely mimic the molecular and histological features of the human endometrium and associated malignancies. Owing to their …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent gynecological disorder affecting reproductive-age women. Exosomes secreted by peripheral blood macrophages may participate in EMs progression. In this pilot translational study, exosomes from peripheral blood …
Three-dimensional (3D) endothelium-stromal co-cultures were established using human endometrial cells from biopsy of healthy women (n = 13) and serum samples from both healthy and endometriotic women (n = 5). …
This review aims to evaluate the potential of endometriosis models, especially patient-derived iPSC models, to gain deeper insights into the disease, thereby advancing our understanding and treatment of endometriosis. This …
