Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease affecting approximately 10-15% of women of reproductive age, often resulting in chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its high prevalence, diagnosis is frequently delayed. …
Endometriosis-associated pelvic pain represents a prototypical failure of systemic therapy for a locally organized, neuroinflammatory disease. Persistent pain arises from the convergence of estrogen-driven lesion survival, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and …

Endometriosis is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, yet the cellular basis for this relationship remains unclear. We examined whether peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis alters cardiomyocyte …
Estrogen stimulates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in endometrial tissue, and CRH signaling contributes to inflammation and pain, suggesting a mechanistic role in endometriosis pathophysiology. We previously identified elevated CRH receptor-1 …
Endometriosis (EMS) remains understudied in effective management strategies. The interplay between macrophage dysfunction and microbiota-derived immune signals emerges as a potential mechanism in EMS pathogenesis, suggesting its relevance for future …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a highly heterogeneous chronic gynecological disease characterized by pain, infertility, and relapse, with its etiology and pathogenesis not yet fully elucidated. Traditional theories, including "retrograde menstruation," "implantation …
Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder lacking reliable biomarkers. This study aimed to identify core diagnostic genes through integrated computational approaches. Multiple endometriosis transcriptomic datasets were analyzed.
Endometriosis is a complex disorder associated with dysregulated immune, hormonal, and microenvironmental signaling. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of intercellular communication and may contribute to disease pathogenesis, biomarker discovery, …
Adenomyosis is a benign gynecologic condition characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma present within the myometrium. Background/Objectives: The gold standard in diagnosis is the histology of hysterectomy specimens. Due …
