Ovarian endometriotic cysts (OEC) are classified into early (I-II) and advanced (III-IV) stages. Stage IV OEC is characterized by severe adhesions and anatomical distortion that complicate surgical management. Accurate preoperative …
Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition …
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that lipedema may share hormonal, inflammatory, and genetic mechanisms with gynecologic diseases, particularly endometriosis. However, the extent and nature of these interrelationships remain poorly characterized, supporting …
Pharmacogenetics is an emerging discipline that explores how genetic variants affect drug response, potentially leading to side effects or treatment failure. Although widely applied in other medical specialties, its use …
Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems provide physiologically relevant models that better replicate in vivo cell architecture and function compared to the conventional two-dimensional cultures. In reproductive biology, 3D models of endometrial …
What was done? A review of artificial intelligence (AI) applications for the imaging of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and adenomyosis. What was found? AI models can assist with the recognition, segmentation, …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting up to 10-15% of women of reproductive age and is frequently associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Non-invasive biomarkers remain insufficient for …
This study investigates whether quantitative analysis of preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans can differentiate deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesion types (active or fibrotic) and associate them with reported pain …
Uterine leiomyomas or fibroids, are non-cancerous smooth muscle proliferations of the uterus, occurring mostly in women of reproductive age. Their pathogenesis involves complex growth factor interactions that regulate cellular proliferation, …
