Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by dysregulated innate immunity, particularly impaired cytotoxic function of natural killer (NK) cells. As pivotal effectors of the innate immune response, NK …
The role of TGF-β superfamily in endometriosis: a systematic review Frontiers
Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic gynecological disorder. Globally, endometriosis affects approximately 5-10% of women of reproductive age, leading to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. While the …
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterine corpus, often clinically presenting with pain and/or infertility. Ectopic lesions exhibit features characteristic …
CCN5 negatively regulates TGF-β-induced endometriosis associated fibrosis through Wnt/β-catenin signaling via Smad3-dependent mechanism Journal of Translational Medicine
Inadequate angiogenesis of endometriotic implants stimulated by the inflammatory microenvironment in the uterine region leads to the development of gynecological diseases, which significantly reduce the fertility and vitality of young …
This study advances sustainable pharmaceutical research for endometriosis by developing in vitro 3D cell culture models of endometriotic pathophysiology that allow antifibrotic drug candidates to be tested. Fibrosis is a …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The current hormonal treatments are unsuitable for women who wish to conceive, highlighting the need for non-hormonal …
Endometriosis patients exhibit a cancer-like glycolytic phenotype. The pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) axis plays important roles in glycolysis-related diseases, but its role in patients with endometrial polyps …
Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, is a condition associated with pain and infertility. In this issue of the JCI, Lv et al. illuminate the …
