Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Retrograde menstruation is widely accepted as a primary mechanism for ectopic endometrial seeding; however, only …
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 …
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by chronic pelvic inflammation, but the etiology of this inflammation remains poorly understood. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), whereby senescent cells secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, is a …
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pain and immune dysregulation. Omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids and fish-derived bioactive lipids may modulate inflammation and metabolism. This study investigated …
Tokishakuyakusan (TSS), a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine, is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. This study examined the effects of TSS on fecundity and endometriosis-like lesions during pregnancy in …
Oocyte formation occurs successfully within a meticulously controlled follicular environment characterized by well-documented endocrine, metabolic, and paracrine signals. Yet, the immunological landscape of the follicle and its role in influencing …
Three-dimensional (3D) endothelium-stromal co-cultures were established using human endometrial cells from biopsy of healthy women (n = 13) and serum samples from both healthy and endometriotic women (n = 5). …
Ovarian endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder in which endometrial stromal cells are key cellular contributors to hormone-immune crosstalk and lesion persistence. Here, we isolated paired eutopic (NESC) and ectopic …
Deep endometriosis (DE) is the most severe subtype of endometriosis, marked by aggressive cellular behavior and debilitating pain. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying DE pathogenesis remain poorly understood. In this …
Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation of endometrial-like tissue and accompanied by persistent pain and infertility. Beyond the pelvis, accumulating epidemiological evidence indicates that …
