Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometrioma, is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), especially the clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, the absolute lifetime risk of OC in …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting about 10% of females in their reproductive years, characterized by endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus. Immune checkpoints play a crucial role in …
Endometriosis is a benign yet aggressive disease characterized by enhanced proliferation and invasion of ectopic endometrial tissue. Identifying upstream regulators that co-regulate these processes will provide novel insights into endometriosis …
Advances in kidney transplantation have transformed survival and quality of life for women with end-stage renal disease, necessitating a focus on long-term health care for this population. Female kidney transplant …
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.
Endometriosis has been associated with several risk factors for cancer, and population-based research has shown that women with endometriosis have a higher risk of several types of cancer. The aim …
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 (EMs) is characterized by ectopic lesions that disrupt endometrial decidualization, a process frequently accompanied by aberrant collagen deposition and closely linked to clinical infertility. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key …
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. …
The human endometrium is a complex, dynamic and poorly understood tissue involving monthly cyclical regeneration likely from adult stem/progenitor cells. This regeneration is associated with reproductive pathologies, such as endometriosis …
