Background: Endometriosis is associated with infertility and impaired assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, potentially due to an altered follicular microenvironment characterized by chronic inflammation. This study investigates the systemic and …
Objectives: The peritoneal cavity is a cavity outside the bloodstream, with a specific hormonal, immunological and microbiological micro-environment distinct from plasma. The mesothelial cells lining the peritoneal cavity react within …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects ∼10% of women during reproductive age. It is characterised by ectopic (ECT) growth of endometrial-like tissue mainly in the pelvic cavity. …
The human microbiota is increasingly recognized as a key component of women's reproductive health. This narrative review examines the vaginal, endometrial, and gut microbiota and their roles in the pathogenesis …
Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent, chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by immune microenvironment dysregulation, a critical factor in its pathogenesis. Despite existing therapies, limitations persist, highlighting the urgent need for innovative …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological illness associated with chronic pain, inflammation, and infertility, as ectopic endometrial lesions are formed. No fully effective treatment is available, and the pathogenesis of …
Environmental exposures are increasingly linked to reproductive dysfunctions such as endometriosis, ovarian insufficiency, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Through endocrine disruption, oxidative stress, and epigenetic pathways, heavy metals (such as …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial growth, inflammation, pain, and infertility. Current therapies, largely hormonal and surgical, have limited efficacy and compromise fertility, underscoring the need …
Elagolix sodium (ELS), a non-peptide oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH) antagonist approved for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain, displays atypical gelation in aqueous environments along with challenging physical properties such …
The reproductive microbiome plays a key role in disease progression and fertility in women with endometriosis. Vaginal and endometrial dysbiosis has been increasingly linked to inflammation, impaired reproductive outcomes, and …
