Atypical endometriosis (AE) is a histologically distinct entity considered a potential precursor to Endometriosis-Associated Ovarian Cancer (EAOC). Preoperative diagnosis is challenging as imaging often fails to distinguish AE from benign …
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 …
Soluble immune mediators are key regulators of immune responses that help maintain self-tolerance and prevent autoimmunity. Recently, many forms of these mediators have been found, including soluble immune checkpoints, soluble …
Despite ongoing challenges in developing effective non-surgical and non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis, the psychological manifestations of the disease-particularly anxiety-remain comparatively underexplored. In this study, a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-releasing aspirin derivative, …
Ionic liquid-coated gold core polymeric nanoparticles for selective neutrophil hitchhiking towards endometriosis treatment Nature
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological condition that affects millions of women and people with uteri globally, with limited available treatments. In this work, we explore using ionic liquid (IL)-coated …
Gynecologic disorders, including infections, sterile inflammatory diseases, endocrine abnormalities, and malignancies, share a common signature of dysregulated immunity within a uniquely hormone-responsive reproductive tract. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are increasingly …
Plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) increase during acute myocardial infarction (MI), correlate with myocardial injury, and mobilize immune cells from the spleen to the circulation. These cells are transcriptionally activated even …
Preoperative assessment of the severity of pelvic adhesions in endometriosis remains challenging. Inflammation may drive adhesion formation, and the predictive value of the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR, the ratio multiplied …
Endometriosis is a debilitating gynaecological disorder with an elusive pathogenesis. While gut microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated, the causal role of gut-peritoneum microbial translocation and the specific mechanisms driving disease …
