Metformin sensitizes endometriosis to medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment through MIG-6 mediated signaling.

This study evaluates the synergistic therapeutic effect of metformin (MET) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on endometriosis (EM) and investigates the involvement of the steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) and mitogen-inducible …

TCF21 promotes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and cytoskeleton reorganization in uterine development and endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Despite several existing theories, the etiology and molecular mechanisms of endometriosis remain to be investigated. Here we report …

Why does surgery for endometriosis-associated infertility often fail to improve pregnancy outcome?

Endometriosis can impair natural reproduction through multiple mechanisms, including distortion of pelvic anatomy and chronic peritoneal inflammation. On this basis, surgical treatment might be reasonably expected to benefit. However, clinical …

Engineering Anti-MMP-9 Peptide-Modified Nanoparticles for Precision MRI Diagnosis of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we …

The role of gut microbiota in modulating estrogen in the inflammatory milieu of endometriosis: A molecular and pathophysiological perspective.

Endometriosis is a prevalent estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition that affects millions of women of reproductive age worldwide. It is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, …

Redefining the contribution of retrograde menstruation to endometriosis: single-cell analysis of endometriotic lesions suggests a process more complex than simple autografting.

Synergistic RU486 and olaparib therapy enhances apoptosis in endometriosis by simultaneously targeting hormonal signalling and DNA repair.

Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent disorder characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, often accompanied by pain and infertility. Although the progesterone receptor modulator RU486 is effective for pain relief, …

Dydrogesterone and Letrozole Combination for the Treatment of Endometriosis: A Mechanism-Based Therapeutic Approach.

Endometriosis is a complex, estrogen-dependent disease with limited effective treatments that often focus on symptom management rather than addressing the underlying pathology. Current therapies, such as progestins and GnRH agonists, …

Mucin Biology as a Local Diagnostic and Promising Therapeutic Target in Endometriosis: Expression and Glycosylation Profiling.

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, yet its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the expression of …

CXCL12 promotes EMT-mediated malignant transformation of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer via PI3K/Akt signaling: An integrated transcriptomic and clinical study.

Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a distinct form of epithelial ovarian cancer that arises from the malignant transformation of benign endometriotic lesions. While epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is acknowledged as a …
