Endometriosis is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, yet the cellular basis for this relationship remains unclear. We examined whether peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis alters cardiomyocyte …

Human Phospholipase A2 Group V (hPLA2-G5) is elevated in inflammatory conditions and promotes neutrophil and macrophage recruitment. Its enzymatic activity activates lipid receptors and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), leading to …
Female fertility relies heavily on the health of the oviduct and uterus. Each of these organs consist of a muscular tube lined by epithelial cells. In this review, we discuss …
The human endometrium is a complex, dynamic and poorly understood tissue involving monthly cyclical regeneration likely from adult stem/progenitor cells. This regeneration is associated with reproductive pathologies, such as endometriosis …
Iron overload induces cellular stress and is implicated in diverse pathological conditions. Nevertheless, the epigenetic mechanisms governing mammalian cellular responses to iron overload remain poorly characterized. Using multi-omics profiling in …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting ~10% of reproductive-age women, with increasing evidence implicating the microbiome in its pathogenesis through immunomodulation and estrogen metabolism. This study investigated microbiome …
Current models of endometriosis (EMs) still have limitations in replicating the key pathological features of human EMs, particularly the cyclic bleeding associated with ectopic lesions. To address this gap, this …
