Ovarian function relies on a network of well-coordinated molecular mechanisms that regulate follicular development, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and corpus luteum function. When these processes are disrupted, infertility can result. Extracellular …
The fundamental mechanisms behind the causes and development of endometriosis are still poorly understood. Therefore, identifying biomarkers that can help with early detection and targeted treatment is crucial for effective …
Endometriosis is characterized by enhanced cellular proliferation, migration, and resistance to apoptosis, contributing to lesion persistence and progression. Targeting cellular plasticity and mesenchymal-associated functions may therefore represent a promising therapeutic …
Previous studies in endometriosis have linked the experience and impact of pain to psychological distress and sexual dysfunction. However, little is known about how these factors interact over time or …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Increasing epidemiological and molecular evidence indicates that it may represent a precursor condition for a subset …
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 …
Oocyte quality, a critical determinant of female reproductive potential, experiences a progressive decline with age, largely driven by the cumulative effects of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This review thoroughly …
Bisphenols and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals with widespread human exposure and growing concern regarding their reproductive toxicity. This review integrates current experimental and epidemiologic …
Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis, contributing to inflammation, immune dysregulation, and lesion progression. This has led to growing interest in antioxidant-based strategies as …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition often associated with severe pelvic pain, reduced quality of life, and significant psychological and sexual distress. Although psychological factors are known to influence pain …
