Endometrial stromal cell decidualization is required for pregnancy success. Although this process is integral to fertility, many of the intricate molecular mechanisms contributing to decidualization remain undefined. One pathway that …
What is the effect of SR-16234 (SR), a selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator, on human endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs)?
The GATA gene family encodes highly conserved zinc-finger transcription factors that facilitate the development and function of multiple organ systems including the uterus. In the endometrium, GATA2 functions in a …
To evaluate the effects of a P2X4 receptor (P2X4R)-specific antagonist on murine endometriotic-like lesions and human endometriotic stromal cells.
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death process characterized by the accumulation of lethal oxidative damage. Localized iron overload is a unique clinical phenomenon in ovarian endometriosis (EM). However, the …
Endometriosis is a gynecological health problem for women of reproductive stage. Kallikrein 4 is a proliferative factor and has important roles in cancer development and progression. To explore the role …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in reproductive-age women. Although the hormone-dependent therapy is the first line treatment for endometriosis, it is not a curative regimen and associated with severe …
