Growing evidence highlights the role of microbiota, including those of the gut, reproductive tract, and endometrial tissue, as critical functional drivers in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM). Studies have revealed …
Endometriosis is characterized by enhanced cellular proliferation, migration, and resistance to apoptosis, contributing to lesion persistence and progression. Targeting cellular plasticity and mesenchymal-associated functions may therefore represent a promising therapeutic …
Endometriosis affects a large number of women of reproductive age, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. It causes severe chronic pelvic pain, which is often misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, …
Endometriosis and major depressive disorder (MDD) pose significant global health burdens. Despite pathophysiological overlaps, existing epidemiological studies predominantly examine their unidirectional associations, often constrained by cross-sectional designs and small sample …
Endometriosis (EMS) is characterized by pain symptoms that seriously affect patients' quality of life. Gut microbiome-related metabolites (GMRM) play an important role in the process of EMS. However, the role …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial growth, inflammation, pain, and infertility. Current therapies, largely hormonal and surgical, have limited efficacy and compromise fertility, underscoring the need …
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory gynecological condition characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, with an unclear etiology and limited treatment efficacy. Recent studies implicate the oral and gut …
Ovarian endometriosis (OvE) is a gynecological disorder with endometrial tissue in the ovaries, for which effective non-invasive diagnosis and curative treatments are currently lacking. Serum samples were collected from both …
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 systemic inflammatory disease known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The inducible form of cyclooxygenase (COX), COX-2, is an inflammatory enzyme upregulated in endometriosis with COX …
