The endometrium is a highly dynamic and complex tissue lining the uterus, playing a central role in reproductive health. Despite its importance, the pathogenesis of many benign endometrial disorders remains …
Endometriosis is a prevalent inflammatory disease affecting approximately one in ten women, characterized by endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Despite its high incidence, treatment options are limited, and the underlying …
Decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) precedes the successful implantation of a human embryo. Improper decidualization has been reported in numerous conditions associated with infertility including endometriosis. Multiple pathways, …
Patients with endometriosis have greater risk of infertility, which is associated with compromised ovarian function. Dysfunction in follicular granulosa cells and hyperactivation of oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) are evident in …
Three-dimensional (3D) organoid and co-culture models have emerged as transformative tools for studying human endometrial function, implantation, and placental development, overcoming key limitations of animal and two-dimensional in vitro systems. …
Endometriomsis (EMs) is a complex and chronic gynecological disease characterized by distressing symptoms. Its pathogenesis remains unknown, and there is no effective treatment. Therefore, establishing patient-derived models is crucial for …
We investigated whether ovarian endometriomas uniformly express functional FSH receptors (FSHR) and respond to FSH by activating transcriptional programs that drive aromatase and steroid hormone production. Endometrioma cyst capsules were …
This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells …
Endometriosis is a complex condition affecting 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide, yet its study has long been hindered by the shortcomings of traditional research models. This review aims to propose …
Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems provide physiologically relevant models that better replicate in vivo cell architecture and function compared to the conventional two-dimensional cultures. In reproductive biology, 3D models of endometrial …
