Endometriosis (EM) is associated with immune dysregulation, while dysfunction of natural killer (NK) cells is regarded as a key mechanism underlying immune escape and the persistent growth of ectopic lesions.
Whether endometriosis is a progressive disease remains debated. Central to this debate is understanding the natural history of endometriotic lesions, which are essentially wounds undergoing repeated tissue injury and repair. …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium. Achieving effective therapeutic outcomes for endometriosis has always been a significant clinical hurdle because of the high …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that impairs fertility and quality of life. Dienogest, the current standard therapy, provides symptom relief but does not correct immune imbalance or prevent …
This study investigated how chronic pelvic pain (CPP) develops using rhesus macaques with naturally occurring endometriosis and a multiple-lesion induction mouse model (MIM), as repeated retrograde menstruation is considered an …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder marked by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, often leading to pelvic pain, inflammation, and infertility. Despite its global prevalence, diagnosis remains …
How does the frequency and location of endometriosis lesions observed at laparoscopy vary with patient age?
Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been …
Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a chronic estrogen dependent disorder where ectopic endometrial-like tissue causes pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis is challenging to diagnose due to symptom …
A murine model of endometriosis was employed to evaluate the pharmacological efficacy of therapeutic compounds. Endometriosis was modeled by autotransplantation of uterine horn fragments onto the intestinal mesentery in three …
