Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting women of reproductive age, often accompanied by chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Despite numerous studies, its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Increasing evidence indicates …
Dysfunction of natural killer cells promotes immune escape and disease progression in endometriosis Frontiers
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent condition affecting over 190 million women globally, characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue that leads to inflammation, pain, and infertility. Despite its prevalence, …
The immune system is hypothesized to contribute to the onset of endometriosis lesions. However, the precise mechanisms underlying its role are not yet known. We introduce a novel compartmental model …
Immune function decline could cause endometriosis, modelling suggests Scimex
Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic gynecological disorder. Globally, endometriosis affects approximately 5-10% of women of reproductive age, leading to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. While the …
Endometriosis, a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder defined by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth, causes pelvic pain and infertility in reproductive-age women. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms driving lesion persistence and reproductive …
Globally, endometriosis affects almost 10% of reproductive-aged women, leading to chronic pain and discomfort. Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) seem to play a pivotal role as a causal factor. The current manuscript …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Central to its pathophysiology, peritoneal CD14hi macrophages exhibit a pro-EMS phenotype and drive disease progression. …
Endometriosis is a prevalent, complex, inflammatory condition associated with a diverse range of symptoms and comorbidities. Despite its substantial burden on patients, population-level studies that explore its comorbid patterns and …
