Endometriosis, defined as the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity, is an inflammatory and hormone-dependent disease that causes excruciating pelvic pain, infertility, and significantly decreases quality …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is associated with chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, oestrogen-dependent growth, oxidative stress, altered steroid hormone metabolism, compromised epithelial barrier integrity, and the production of bioactive microbial metabolites. …
Background: This review aims to systematically summarize the lineage origins, subtype classification, and functional dynamics of endometrial macrophages, clarify their mechanisms of action in normal reproductive physiology (menstrual cycle, pregnancy) …
Peritoneal adhesions are a major and often under-recognized cause of morbidity following abdominopelvic inflammation and surgery, contributing to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, bowel obstruction, and surgical complications. Endometriosis, affecting 10-11% …
Introduction. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which monocytes/macrophages play a key pathogenetic role. The peritoneal fluid (PF) cytokine profile can modulate recruited monocyte functions, determining their contribution to …
Endometriosis is a chronic, oestrogen-responsive inflammatory disease characterised by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Because retrograde menstruation is common, lesion establishment probably requires cellular competence and a permissive ectopic …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic gynecological disease with poorly understood pathogenesis. This study integrated lipidomics and transcriptomics to systematically investigate aberrant sphingolipid metabolism in EMs, aiming to identify pathogenic mechanisms …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with infertility in up to half of those diagnosed. Despite decades of research, the molecular basis of its …
Endometriosis (EMS) is characterised by a disrupted peritoneal immune microenvironment where M2 macrophage polarization and impaired phagocytosis promote lesion survival. Single-cell RNA-seq (ScRNAseq) of the peritoneal macrophages from EMS patient …
Endometriosis is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis, in which cytokines and cytokine-macrophage interactions serve as critical mediators. However, the specific mechanisms that initiate the fibrotic cascade in endometriosis remain poorly …
