The lactate-myeloid-derived suppressor cells axis in endometriosis from molecular reprogramming to translational therapies: A review article.

Endometriosis is a complex chronic condition, driven by estrogen, characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. This often-debilitating disease affects millions of women globally, manifesting as severe …

Evaluation of angiopoietin-like protein 4 levels in patients with endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder lacking definitive laboratory diagnostic markers. Angiopoietin-like protein-4 (ANGPTL4) is a protein involved in the regulation of angiogenesis and inflammation. The aim of the present …

Achieving Minimal-to-No Pain in Women with Endometriosis Treated with Relugolix Combination Therapy: SPIRIT Extension Trial.

Relugolix is an oral, non-peptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonist administered as once-daily combination therapy (relugolix-CT; 40 mg relugolix, 1 mg estradiol, 0.5 mg norethindrone acetate) to reduce endometriosis symptoms while …

Elevated Neutrophil Count as a Causal Risk Factor for Endometriosis: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder where immune dysregulation plays a central role in its pathogenesis. While previous observational studies have reported associations between circulating blood cell counts and …

Exosomal miR-22-3p targets p53 to regulate endometrial epithelial cell function in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a widespread gynecological disease, affecting approximately 6-10% of females of child-bearing age. Despite its significant influence on women's health, the specific pathophysiology remains unclear. The enrichment of …

Genetic architecture of endometriosis: risk factors, comorbidities and clinical implications.

In 1999, Dr Susan Treloar and colleagues conducted a landmark twin study in Australia and reported their estimate of 51% for the heritability of endometriosis. This important result led several …

Optimizing family building in women of advanced reproductive age: a Faster-Fewer-and-Finished approach.

Delayed parenthood is a defining feature of contemporary reproductive medicine, fundamentally reshaping reproductive planning and increasing reliance on medically assisted reproduction (MAR). For women of advanced reproductive age (ARA), this …

Integrative mRNA and miRNA Profiling Identifies Shared and Subtype-Associated PI3K-AKT-mTOR Pathway Dysregulation and Candidate miRNA-Mediated Regulatory Interactions in Endometriosis-Associated Ovarian Cancers (EAOCs).

Background: Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers (EAOCs), including ovarian clear cell (OCCC) and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (EnOC) subtypes, frequently exhibit transcriptomic dysregulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling axis. While genomic aberrations are well-documented, …

Oocyte quality in endometriosis-associated infertility: a narrative analysis of mechanisms and therapeutic options.

Endometriosis is a challenging gynaecological condition that can lead to infertility. This unique narrative review summarises the impact of endometriosis, focusing on oocyte quality, its subcellular and molecular mechanisms, clinical …
