Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder with prominent cellular heterogeneity, and its key pathogenic cell subsets and core molecular mechanisms remain elusive, which restricts the development of effective therapeutic strategies. …
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals implicated in reproductive dysfunction. Epidemiologic evidence examining their association with endometriosis remains inconsistent. Thus, we conducted a PRISMA-compliant systematic review and …
BackgroundMesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare type of Müllerian carcinoma that poses significant diagnostic challenges, especially at extrauterine sites. Its morphologic and immunophenotypic overlap with other carcinomas can lead to …
The rate of implantation of endometrial tissue onto the appendix varies greatly within the literature with appendiceal intussusception being a rare clinical presentation in this small subset of patients. Here …
Epigenetic mechanisms, particularly the roles of DNA methylation and microRNAs, are increasingly recognized in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. DNA methyltransferase 3 (DNMT3) alpha, an important DNA methyltransferase, and miR-29b, a …
The menstrual cycle is one of the most fundamental biological rhythms in human physiology, yet its systemic molecular changes remain poorly understood. Here we show that the menstrual cycle is …
BackgroundDespite many women learning about endometriosis on social media, posts about the condition often fail to reflect current evidence. With the content and credibility of online health messages being found …
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been demonstrated with a role in pathologically driving various obstetric and gynecological (OB/GYN) diseases, but molecular mediators associating mitochondrial dysfunction with discrete pathologies have not been determined …
Endometriosis-associated infertility is a complex condition in which the presence of endometrial-like tissue disrupts implantation and early pregnancy. Epigenetic regulators are critical for implantation and decidualization, yet their contribution to …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer subtype. Somatic mutations in OCCC are reported in ARID1A, PIK3CA, and the TERT promoter (TERTp), as well as less commonly …
