EMs is a chronic, estrogen-dependent systemic inflammatory disorder defined by the ectopic implantation of endometrial glands and stroma and is frequently associated with dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and substantial …
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people with endometriosis have unique health needs. Current health research, policy, and clinical practice are developed within a biomedical and cisheteronormative paradigm that structurally excludes …
The female reproductive tract (FRT), particularly the vagina, has traditionally been regarded as a sterile environment. However, it is now recognized that the vagina is a complex, dynamic ecosystem dominated …
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 …
India, home to 4 biodiversity hotspots, hosts 675 wild species used for nutritional and therapeutic purposes. Wild edible fruits are highly valuable for their rich content of health-beneficial compounds, such …
Endometriosis has been associated with alterations in the reproductive tract microbiota, yet studies focusing on the endometrial microbiome remain inconsistent, partly due to the low-biomass nature of this niche and …
Endometriosis is a chronic hormone-responsive disorder linked to infertility, usually characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium in the pelvis that disrupts local homeostasis. Advances in single-cell "omic" methods have …
Three-dimensional (3D) organoid and co-culture models have emerged as transformative tools for studying human endometrial function, implantation, and placental development, overcoming key limitations of animal and two-dimensional in vitro systems. …
Although studies have suggested a link between gut microbiota and endometriosis pathophysiology, the effects of treatment for endometriosis remain unclear.
Endometriosis affects one in seven women in Australia and is a significant public health concern. Access to appropriate health information is essential for informed decision-making and quality of life, especially …
