Gynecological conditions including endometriosis, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome and malignancies cause widespread chronic morbidity and infertility, yet translating genetic discoveries into biological mechanisms remains challenging. We propose a framework integrating …
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, …
Single-cell RNA sequencing is a state-of-the-art approach to decipher the heterogeneity of RNA transcripts in individual cells and identify different cell types in tissues and organs. Its aim is to …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder characterised by the growth of endometrial-like tissues outside the uterus. Recent data suggest a potential role for endometrial stem/progenitor cells in the development of …
Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent disease characterized by altered endometrial stromal function, but mechanistic and translational studies have been hindered by the lack of tractable human models. Here, we establish …
Oocyte quality is the primary determinant of success in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), and mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a central mediator of poor oocyte competence across advanced maternal …
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. …
Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) is a well-established stem cell marker in multiple epithelial tissues. However, its spatial distribution and biological relevance in normal and pathological human endometrium remain …
Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in female reproductive health, particularly in ovarian function. This review provides …
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 …
