Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that shares epidemiological and pathological features with endometrial cancer. However, the cellular and genetic mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear.
The comorbidity between endometriosis and migraine has long been recognized clinically, yet a unifying pathophysiological explanation has remained elusive. Traditional models, centered on hormonal fluctuations or secondary inflammation are lacking …
Phthalate esters (PAEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) are pervasive 20 environmental pollutants with endocrine-disrupting properties. Despite growing 21 evidence linking PAE/OPE exposure to female reproductive disorders, the 22 diseasespecific molecular …
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation. Pyroptosis, a type of programmed proinflammatory cell death, plays a crucial role in various inflammatory diseases. However, its specific mechanism …
Angiogenesis mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is essential for physiological vascular remodeling but also drives pathological processes, including tumor growth, ocular neovascularization, and inflammation. Emerging evidence has …
Endometriosis, a common chronic gynecological disorder, involves cellular autophagy and inflammatory processes in its pathogenesis. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms of autophagy and inflammation in endometriosis remain unknown. In this …
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder and a leading cause of female infertility. Ovarian endometriomas, a common manifestation of endometriosis, are commonly associated with diminished ovarian function; however, the …
The link between endometriosis and other medical conditions is gaining attention. Such insights could enhance clinical approaches to manage the disease and potentially reveal new, unrecognized mechanisms of its development. …
Endometriosis, a chronic disease that affects about 10% of women of reproductive age, is characterized by severe pain and growth of endometrium-like tissues outside the uteri. Although several theories have …
