Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET is an emerging molecular imaging modality that is widely used in oncology and increasingly investigated in nononcologic diseases. Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a …
Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition …
Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems provide physiologically relevant models that better replicate in vivo cell architecture and function compared to the conventional two-dimensional cultures. In reproductive biology, 3D models of endometrial …
Endometriosis is a highly prevalent, chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue, driving significant morbidity and chronic pelvic pain. Pathologically, it is increasingly recognized as a …
Endometriosis (EM) is a debilitating disease involving the growth of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. To further our understanding of epigenomic dysregulation in EM and search for disease …
Peritoneal endometriosis causes pelvic pain and infertility, but the underlying mechanisms related to these symptoms are not fully understood. Endometriosis diagnosis is typically delayed; thus, patient samples are unsuitable to …
We aimed to generate immortalized stromal cell lines from the ovarian and fallopian tube tissues of a single patient using Sendai virus (SeV) vectors and identify candidate stromal genes involved …
Ovarian fibrosis is increasingly recognized as a pivotal factor contributing to ovarian aging, dysfunction and female infertility. It results from chronic or repetitive ovarian injury, such as that caused by …
Endometriosis (ENDO) and poor ovarian response (POR) represent challenging conditions in assisted reproduction. Both, associated with altered follicular fluid (FF) composition, specifically impact on granulosa cell (GC) function in an …
Pregnancy requires a supportive uterine environment facilitated by steroid hormone-regulated differentiation of endometrial stromal fibroblasts into decidual cells and tight control of inflammation. Serum response factor (SRF) is a widely …
