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 …
Natural polyphenolics, more specifically flavonoids and derivatives, constitute chemically versatile scaffolds with a broad biological potential. In this study, different flavonoid derivatives (1-37) were assessed for cytotoxicity in Ishikawa and …
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 common gynaecological condition characterised by the growth of endometrial-like tissue both within the muscular layer of the uterus and outside of it, affecting 10-15 % of women …
Nucleus accumbens-associated protein 1 (NAC1), a cancer-related transcriptional regulator, is overexpressed in several malignancies, including ovarian cancer. However, its role in ovarian carcinogenesis remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether …
This study aims to assess whether endometriosis causally increases the risk of IBD through Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis and to elucidate potential mechanisms using in vitro experiments. A two-sample Mendelian …
Ghrelin, a peptide composed of 28 amino acids, is recognized for its role in regulating appetite and energy balance. Recently, it has also been identified as an immunomodulator that could …
Ovarian cancer is considered a predominant female reproductive malignancy and poses a significant threat due to its 80-90% fatality rate. The typical approach involves surgery and chemotherapy, which due to …
Endometrial cysts of the ovary (EMC) may develop into endometriosis (EM)‑associated ovarian cancer over time (EAOC), but the pathogenesis of this disease has not been determined. In the present study, …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a difficult gynecological disease to cure. Frizzled-7 (FZD7) has been shown to be associated with the development of EMS, but its specific mechanism remains unclarified. This study …
