The GATA gene family encodes highly conserved zinc-finger transcription factors that facilitate the development and function of multiple organ systems including the uterus. In the endometrium, GATA2 functions in a …
Adenomyosis involves the infiltration of endometrial glands and stroma deep into the uterine tissue, causing disruption to the endometrial-myometrial interface (EMI). The role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) has been extensively studied …
The human endometrium, the innermost lining of the uterus, is the anatomic prerequisite for pregnancy. It is the only dynamic tissue that undergoes more than 400 cycles of regeneration throughout …
To investigate if a positive result on ReceptivaDx for evaluation of B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6), a proposed marker of progesterone resistance associated with impaired uterine receptivity, correlates with a suboptimal …
Are genetic effects on endometrial gene expression tissue specific and/or associated with reproductive traits and diseases?
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death process characterized by the accumulation of lethal oxidative damage. Localized iron overload is a unique clinical phenomenon in ovarian endometriosis (EM). However, the …
Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease, is the most common cause of chronic pelvic pain. Here, we investigated the effects of linaclotide, a Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for IBS-C, …
Understanding of molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, and upstream drivers of lesion formation, remains limited. Using a C57Bl/6 mouse model in which decidualized endometrial tissue is injected …
Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disorder characterized by the abnormal presence of endometrium-like cells, referred to as ectopic tissue, located outside the uterine cavity. Beyond the abnormal proliferation of endometrium-like …
Aberrantly expressed circRNAs affect various anti-tumour immune responses and immune cell regulation. However, the exact function of circGLIS2 on the pathogenesis of EMs remains unclear. In this study, we found …
