Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are vital for oocyte development, yet the redox state of peritoneal fluid may differ between health and disease. This study investigates the effects of peritoneal fluid …
Menstrual blood (MB), a biofluid rich in diverse cell types and biomolecules, has emerged as a vital resource for investigating female reproductive health and diseases because of its unique composition …
Infertility has a significant impact on women, affecting them both mentally and physically. Some of the current infertility-related diseases include intrauterine adhesions, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, primary ovarian insufficiency, and …
Endometriosis poses significant challenges for women of reproductive age, particularly due to its impact on ovarian reserve and fertility. In addition to endometriosis-associated infertility contributing to diminished ovarian reserve by …
Endometriosis, chronic endometritis (CE), unexplained infertility (UI), and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) are gynecological conditions frequently associated with inflammation and alterations in the endometrial microbiome. The presence of bacterial vaginosis-associated …
Polypoidal rectal endometriosis is a rare and diagnostically challenging manifestation of deep infiltrating endometriosis that may mimic colorectal malignancy, especially in women lacking classical cyclical symptoms. We report such a …
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 = …
Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by TET3 overexpression (Toe-Macs) in three major human diseases associated …
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 …
