Microbiome in women with endometriosis and the in vitro effects of Lactobacillus reuteri on human endometrium.

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting ~10% of reproductive-age women, with increasing evidence implicating the microbiome in its pathogenesis through immunomodulation and estrogen metabolism. This study investigated microbiome …

Eutopic echoes ectopic: organoid-based evidence of shared hormone dysregulation in endometriosis.

Malignant Transformation of Endometriosis: A Rare Case of Extrauterine Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is an extremely uncommon uterine malignancy, and commonly arises from preexisting endometriosis. On rare occasions, ESS arises from extrauterine tissues and is known as extra-uterine ESS. …

Diaphragmatic endometriosis with hepatic herniation: case report and review of literature.

Diaphragmatic endometriosis is a rare and often underrecognized manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis that may lead to severe complications such as diaphragmatic rupture or herniation. We report the case of a …

Evaluating Subtypes of Endometriosis in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) Using Clinical Findings and Immunohistochemistry.

Endometriosis is defined as endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. It is a debilitating, complex, and underdiagnosed condition, impacting approximately 10%-15% of reproductive-aged women worldwide. Endometriosis is associated with chronic …

YWHAZ Loss Is Associated With Endometrial Dysfunction in Proliferative Phase Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder frequently associated with infertility and characterized by progesterone resistance and impaired endometrial receptivity. While ectopic lesions define the disease, accumulating evidence indicates that molecular …

Recurrent catamenial pneumothorax in an adolescent: A case report with review of diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare form of spontaneous pneumothorax associated with thoracic endometriosis and is exceptionally uncommon in adolescents. We report a 14-year-old girl with early menarche and heavy …

Metformin sensitizes endometriosis to medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment through MIG-6 mediated signaling.

This study evaluates the synergistic therapeutic effect of metformin (MET) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on endometriosis (EM) and investigates the involvement of the steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) and mitogen-inducible …

Systems-level actions of luteolin in female reproductive disorders: from molecular mechanisms to clinical translation.

Female reproductive disorders represent a major global health challenge. Despite their clinical heterogeneity, these conditions share core pathological mechanisms including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, extracellular matrix …

Synergistic RU486 and olaparib therapy enhances apoptosis in endometriosis by simultaneously targeting hormonal signalling and DNA repair.

Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent disorder characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, often accompanied by pain and infertility. Although the progesterone receptor modulator RU486 is effective for pain relief, …
