Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by the establishment and persistence of ectopic lesions, a process fundamentally dependent on aberrant angiogenesis. Endothelial cells (ECs) play a central role in this process; however, …
Endometriosis is frequently managed with hormonal suppression that can induce hypoestrogenism during a period when many patients are still accruing peak bone mass. This narrative review summarizes current clinical and …
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) …
Ovarian endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by extensive tissue remodeling and fibrosis, which significantly impacts female reproductive health. This study demonstrates that ectopic endometrium (Ect) in patients with …
Ovarian endometriomas are commonly assessed according to cyst size and laterality, anatomical features that have long been regarded as indicators of disease severity and potential ovarian compromise. Consequently, these characteristics …
Background/Objectives: The NLRP3 inflammasome-Caspase-1-IL-1β pyroptotic axis participates in peripheral inflammatory responses, yet its function in peripheral-central neuroimmune crosstalk underlying endometriosis (EM)-associated pain remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify whether …
The female reproductive system is a hormonally driven, immune-active, and structurally dynamic system in which estrogen signaling, inflammation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling interact to support essential reproductive processes. Cyclical …
Endometriosis is a chronic, heterogenous disorder in which cyclical hemorrhage and repetitive repair generate ectopic implants that persist, recur, and drive pain and infertility; conventional frameworks emphasizing hormonal aberration and …
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains the leading cause of acquired valvular heart disease in low- and middle-income countries, affecting an estimated 40 million individuals and disproportionately affecting children and young …
The first trimester (FT) of pregnancy is characterized by rapid placental growth and differentiation, rendering this period sensitive to maternal metabolic influences. Maternal obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation …
