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 …
Uterine leiomyomas or fibroids, are non-cancerous smooth muscle proliferations of the uterus, occurring mostly in women of reproductive age. Their pathogenesis involves complex growth factor interactions that regulate cellular proliferation, …
Pain in endometriosis involves not only nociceptive but also neuropathic and neurogenic components, reflecting its complex nature. Histamine, a biogenic amine, has emerged as a critical mediator connecting inflammation and …
In the intricate landscape of health disorders in women, polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis stand out. Despite their complete etiology being unknown, their impact on women's health and link to …
Fifteen years have elapsed since the publication of the seminal work establishing the association between risk variants in the Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene and kidney disease in individuals of African …
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 …
Gynecological endocrine disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis as well as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI)/premature ovarian failure (POF), significantly impact women's reproductive health and overall well-being. While these conditions …
Endometriosis (ENDO) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent condition affecting over 190 million females worldwide. Characterized by cyclic pelvic pain, infertility, and systemic inflammation, its symptoms profoundly impact quality of life, interfering …
Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are central to peripheral immune tolerance and act as key players that sustain the immune homeostasis required for embryo receptivity, implantation, and placentation. Treg dysfunction accelerates inflammation, …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and a …
