Background/Objectives: The scientific community is still divided between supporters of the implantation theory and researchers who advocate the theory of coelomic metaplasia/embryonic cell remnants to explain the initiation of endometriosis. …
Endometriosis, a chronic gynecological disorder, is clinically associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. While this link has been primarily attributed to hypoestrogenism resulting from the disease process or its …
Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 3 (TRPM3) is a non-selective, Ca2+-permeable ion channel that plays a pivotal role in peripheral thermosensation and nociception. Moreover, gain-of-function variants in TRPM3 underlie a spectrum …
Chronic pelvic pain affects one in four women. Botulinum toxin, approved for chronic migraine and cervical dystonia pain, is an emerging treatment for other pain conditions. We evaluated intramuscular pelvic …
Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare gynecologic malignancy primarily arising in the uterine corpus and ovaries. It shares remarkable similarities in its histomorphology, immunophenotype, and molecular features with mesonephric adenocarcinoma …
In this opinion, we propose that compromised microvascular perfusion and inflammation are fundamental drivers of chronic pain syndromes, with many of these conditions sharing a common etiology involving suboptimal blood …
While there is evidence that vitamin D deficiency is associated with long menstrual cycles, delayed ovulation, and reduced fertility, it is yet unknown if increasing vitamin D levels can regulate …
Endometriosis affects 5-10% of women during reproductive years, with a 20-30% incidence among those with infertility. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affects 10-15% of women of childbearing age and 50% of …
The reduction in oocyte competence and ovarian reserve coincides with reproductive ageing; nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Our testable mechanistic hypothesis is that the oxidative …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition, typically associated with pelvic pain and menorrhagia, affecting 10% of women of reproductive age. Inflammation is known to contribute to pregnancy complications, including preterm …
