Endometriosis (EM) is a common chronic gynaecological disease that affects 10% of women of reproductive age globally. EM is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in extrauterine …
This systematic review aimed to summarize all available data and evaluate the roles of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, associated molecules, and signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The search was conducted …
A case of a Nuck canal cyst (NCC) associated with vestigial endometriosis is presented. An ultrasound scan revealed a multicystic sac in the right groin of a 42-year-old woman who …
This study reveals elevated levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-3 in endometriotic lesions, potentially reflecting a senescenceassociated secretory phenotype. No corresponding increase was observed in peritoneal fluid, possibly due to …
Cesarean scar endometriosis is a rare form of endometriosis characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue within a surgical scar. Diagnosing this condition is challenging, as it is frequently …
To investigate the prevalence of coexisting pelvic lesions in post-cesarean bladder endometriosis (BE) and primary BE. If women with post-cesarean BE exhibit a lower prevalence of coexistent endometriosis, it could …
The DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) plays a crucial role in the initiation of DNA base excision repair pathway by recognizing and excising the oxidative base lesions including …
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 …
While epidemiological studies have associated endometriosis with ovarian cancer risk, the causal relationships across anatomic subtypes and histotypes remain undefined. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization with 84 genetic instruments (F-statistic = …
Background: Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a rare but debilitating condition, often occurring in surgical scars after Caesarean sections. It is characterized by cyclic pain and a palpable mass, significantly …
