This study aims to assess whether endometriosis causally increases the risk of IBD through Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis and to elucidate potential mechanisms using in vitro experiments. A two-sample Mendelian …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by dysregulated innate immunity, particularly impaired cytotoxic function of natural killer (NK) cells. As pivotal effectors of the innate immune response, NK …
Ghrelin, a peptide composed of 28 amino acids, is recognized for its role in regulating appetite and energy balance. Recently, it has also been identified as an immunomodulator that could …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a persistent, inflammatory condition that relies on estrogen and is distinguished by the proliferation of endometrial tissue outside the confines of the uterus. The impact on the …
Menstrual blood (MB), a biofluid rich in diverse cell types and biomolecules, has emerged as a vital resource for investigating female reproductive health and diseases because of its unique composition …
Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a potent agonist for the GPCR receptor NPSR1, implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including inflammation. NPSR1 gene polymorphisms have been linked to asthma, inflammatory …
Endometriosis is the extrauterine engraftment of endometrium-like tissue, causing chronic pain. Complex sensory-vascular-immune interactions, including growth factors, cytokines, and neuropeptides, are implicated in its pathophysiology, but the mechanisms remain unknown. …
Existing evidence shows the importance of circulating cytokines in studying female reproductive system dysfunction. Endometriosis (EM) is thought to be associated with multiple immune cytokines, but its causality has not …
Endometriosis is marked by the ectopic growth, spread, and invasion of endometrial tissue beyond the uterus, resulting in recurrent bleeding, pain, reproductive challenges, and the formation of nodules or masses. …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a common chronic gynecological disorder affecting 5%-10% of reproductive-age women, often causing infertility, dyspareunia, pain, and limitations in physical and sexual activities. This condition is defined by …
