Effects of E2/ERβ on follicular granulosa cells and on AMH/Smad signalling in endometriosis.

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 …

Endometriomas are heterogeneous for functional FSH receptor expression and steroidogenic function.

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 …

The role of gut microbiota in modulating estrogen in the inflammatory milieu of endometriosis: A molecular and pathophysiological perspective.

Endometriosis is a prevalent estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition that affects millions of women of reproductive age worldwide. It is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, …

Aberrant Progesterone Receptor (PGR) expression is associated with Estrogen Receptor 1 (ESR1) expression in the endometrium from infertile women with endometriosis.

Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and progesterone receptor (PGR) are essential regulators for endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation. Their expression is dysregulated in women with endometriosis-associated infertility. However, the relationship between …

Rethinking estrogen receptor β in EAOC: a synergistic modulator in a genomically informed landscape.

In silico evaluation of procyanidin as a potential ESR1 inhibitor: docking and MD insights in uterine fibroids and endometriosis.

These are two of the most common gynecologic diseases, affecting 15% to 80% of women of childbearing age diseases. The existing treatments, such as hormonal drugs and selective estrogen receptor …

Role of Phytoestrogens in Endometriosis.

To investigate the therapeutic potential of phytoestrogens in the management of endometriosis and to elucidate their mechanisms of action based on current preclinical and clinical evidence.

Genetic and Epigenetic Components in the Pathogenesis of Adenomyosis and Endometriosis in Adolescents.

Background: Adenomyosis and endometriosis are complex, estrogen-dependent gynecological conditions increasingly diagnosed in adolescents. While traditionally considered diseases of reproductive-age women, emerging evidence suggests a possible developmental origin in some cases, …

ZMIZ1 and estrogen receptor α form an essential partnership in endometrial biology.

Estrogen receptor α (ESR1) is a pivotal regulator of endometrial homeostasis and reproductive function, yet the coregulators that fine tune its transcriptional activity remain incompletely defined. In this issue of …

Transcriptional coregulator ZMIZ1 modulates estrogen responses that are essential for healthy endometrial function.

Estrogen is a critical regulator of endometrial health. Aberrant estrogen stimulation can result in infertility, endometrial cancer, and endometriosis. Here, we identified Zinc Finger MIZ-Type Containing 1 (Zmiz1) as a …
