Endometriosis is a heterogeneous gynecological disease manifesting in three distinct phenotypes: superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP), ovarian endometrioma (OMA), and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). While Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified …
Endometriosis is a benign condition driven by estrogen and inflammation in which endometrial-like tissue develops in ectopic locations. We aimed to determine whether non-steroidal agents acting on the WNT/beta-catenin signaling …
Adult endometrial glands undergo cyclic regeneration and development during the menstrual cycle. Their secretions are vital for endometrial functions and early pregnancy, yet the mechanisms controlling gland development are not …
Background: Adenomyosis and endometriosis are complex, estrogen-dependent gynecological conditions increasingly diagnosed in adolescents. While traditionally considered diseases of reproductive-age women, emerging evidence suggests a possible developmental origin in some cases, …
We report the findings of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of endometriosis across 14 biobanks worldwide, including 32% non-European patient participants, as part of the Global Biobank Meta-Analysis Initiative …
Ovarian fibrosis is increasingly recognized as a pivotal factor contributing to ovarian aging, dysfunction and female infertility. It results from chronic or repetitive ovarian injury, such as that caused by …
Endometriosis is a benign yet chronic gynecological disorder characterized by dysregulation of processes such as inflammation, angiogenesis, migration, apoptosis, and proliferation. Menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells play a crucial role …
Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disorder marked by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, demonstrates malignant tumor-like properties including aggressive adhesion and invasiveness. Emerging evidence implicates roundabout guidance receptor 3 (ROBO3) in …
Approximately every month, the human endometrium undergoes a cycle of proliferation, differentiation, and, in the absence of pregnancy, shedding and repair. Each cycle relies on intricate interorgan coordination of hormonal …
Endometriosis, a non-malignant gynecological disorder characterized by debilitating symptoms, displays several cancer-like characteristics, including metastatic behavior and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. The dynamics of ECM are largely influenced by proteoglycans …
