BackgroundDespite many women learning about endometriosis on social media, posts about the condition often fail to reflect current evidence. With the content and credibility of online health messages being found …
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been demonstrated with a role in pathologically driving various obstetric and gynecological (OB/GYN) diseases, but molecular mediators associating mitochondrial dysfunction with discrete pathologies have not been determined …
Background/Objective: RNA modifications, including N6-methyladenosine (m6A), 5-methylcytosine (m5C), 7-methylguanosine (m7G), N1-methyladenosine (m1A), pseudouridine (Ψ), N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C), 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm5s2U) and adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing, constitute a critical layer of post-transcriptional regulation that …
Endometriosis-associated infertility is a complex condition in which the presence of endometrial-like tissue disrupts implantation and early pregnancy. Epigenetic regulators are critical for implantation and decidualization, yet their contribution to …
Endometriosis affects 6%-10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and impaired quality of life. The endometriosis fertility index (EFI) predicts spontaneous pregnancy postoperatively, …
Precise staging of endometriosis remains a clinical challenge, as current diagnosis depends almost entirely on laparoscopic visualization-an invasive procedure marked by considerable inter-observer disagreement and diagnostic delays. Existing non-invasive approaches, …
Bisphenols and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals with widespread human exposure and growing concern regarding their reproductive toxicity. This review integrates current experimental and epidemiologic …
Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis, contributing to inflammation, immune dysregulation, and lesion progression. This has led to growing interest in antioxidant-based strategies as …
Bowel endometriosis is often considered an indication for extensive surgical management, including colorectal resection, in women undergoing surgery for concomitant endometriosis at other sites. However, several contemporary studies show little …
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition linked to pelvic pain and infertility, is characterized by immune dysfunction involving dysregulated apoptosis and cell proliferation. This case-control study included 87 infertile women undergoing …
