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.
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 …
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 …
Endometriosis involves oestrogen-dependent chronic inflammation and the abnormal proliferation of ectopic endometrial tissue. Conventional hormonal therapies suppress systemic oestrogen, but do not fully address local oxidative and inflammatory signalling. This …
Appendiceal endometriosis is an uncommon manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis that can clinically and radiologically mimic acute appendicitis. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman who presented with acute right …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease that severely affects the physical and mental health of women of childbearing age. Due to the significant side effects of traditional hormone therapies, non-hormonal treatment …
Endometriosis is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial cells, leading to chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Epidemiological studies have associated exposure to dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), …
Previous studies show that orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) regulated endometriotic cell growth, survival, estrogen receptor β (ERβ), mTOR signaling and fibrosis. NR4A2 is also expressed in epithelial and stromal …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease with unclear pathogenesis. Recent evidence suggests that ferroptosis plays an important role in the development of endometriosis. In this study, we aimed to explore whether …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue growing outside the uterus. The molecular and clinical heterogeneity of endometriosis complicate diagnostic and treatment options -- …
