Pathogenic Properties of Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells Require Steroid Receptor Coactivator-2.

Commonly diagnosed in reproductive-age women, endometriosis is causally linked to subfertility, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain. Although theories exist on the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis, our understanding of its cellular and …

Cancer-associated mutations in endometriosis reframe a benign disease through molecular oncology.

Endometriosis is a benign yet debilitating condition, and its molecular complexity remains unexplored. Although clinically recognized, its genetic landscape has long been overlooked. This review analyses cancer-associated mutations (CAMs) identified …

Neuroimmune fitness in endometriosis: decoding the adaptive neural circuits that sustain lesion persistence, fibrosis, and chronic pain.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by substantial heterogeneity in pain, lesion behavior, and treatment response. Although hormonal and surgical therapies can reduce disease activity and symptoms, their effects …

Transvaginal Ultrasonographic Visualization of Endometriosis as a Unified Peritoneal Thickening.

This study characterized the peritoneal surface of the posterior cervix and vaginal fornix. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) was performed during laparoscopic surgery to visualize structures beyond the muscular and epithelial layers …

Integrative analysis and experiment validation of SLC12A8 as a biomarker for the malignant transition from endometriosis to endometriosis associated ovarian cancer.

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory, estrogen‑dependent benign gynecological disorder. A subset of patients with EM may subsequently develop endometriosis‑associated ovarian cancer (EAOC), implying a biological continuum between these two …

The Endocannabinoid System in Endometriosis-Associated Pain: Mechanisms, Molecular Targets, and Therapeutic Implications.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue and severe pain, including dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dysuria, …

Endometriosis Pain: Genes linked to Inflammation Distinguish Symptomatic from Asymptomatic Disease.

Endometriosis is a multifaceted disease, causing debilitating pelvic pain in some patients, while being completely asymptomatic in others. The pathophysiology of endometriosis pain is not well understood and poorly correlated …

A Phase 2a/b, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Linustedastat (OG-6219) in Women with Moderate to Severe Endometriosis-Related Pain.

Endometriosis causes pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea (DYS), dyspareunia, and fertility issues. Linustedastat (OG-6219) is an oral, selective inhibitor of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD17β1), an enzyme involved in local estradiol biosynthesis. …

Human peritoneal hypoxia may stabilize rather than initiate endometriotic lesions.

Hepatic endometriosis causing hemoperitoneum in a woman with deep endometriosis.

Hepatic endometriosis is a rare extrapelvic manifestation that can mimic hepatic neoplasia and, exceptionally, cause hemoperitoneum. We report a 45-year-old nulligravid woman with longstanding deep endometriosis and anticoagulation for cavoiliac …
