Yearning for movement. A qualitative interview study exploring physical activity in the context of endometriosis-associated chronic pain.

BackgroundChronic pain is a common symptom of endometriosis with significant negative impact on physical and social activities. Patients perceive that healthcare professionals lack knowledge about the condition, and that available …

Glycolytic reprogramming and MYH10 K1520 lactylation mediate eutopic endometrial collagen I deposition driven by PKM2-packaged ectopic endometrial extracellular vesicles.

Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by ectopic lesions that disrupt endometrial decidualization, a process frequently accompanied by aberrant collagen deposition and closely linked to clinical infertility. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key …

Efficacy and Safety of Elagolix Versus Dienogest for Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Endometriosis Pain: A Phase III, Multicentric, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Non-Inferiority Study.

To compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of elagolix with dienogest in women with moderate-to-severe endometriosis-associated pain.

Differential Antioxidant Capacities of Human Endometriotic and Endometrial Cell Models Under H2O2 Exposure.

Endometriosis is associated with oxidative stress and debilitating symptoms, yet its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, and current treatments are still limited. In this study, oxidative stress responses were compared in …

Electroacupuncture ameliorates Endometriosis-Associated ovarian dysfunction by activating Nrf2 pathway to upregulate GPX4 function and inhibiting ferroptosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common cause of ovarian dysfunction and infertility, closely linked to iron overload-induced oxidative stress and ferroptosis. While electroacupuncture (EA) has shown promise in treating reproductive disorders, …

Metabolic reprogramming in endometriosis: mechanisms and therapeutic prospects.

Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder for which metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a central pathological feature. Driven by genetic, epigenetic, and microenvironmental stressors, ectopic endometrial cells undergo …

Reduced type 2 epithelial-mesenchymal transition serves as a risk factor for the progression from endometriosis to endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer.

Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer arising from the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS). Despite growing clinical awareness, its underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully …

When benign mimics malignancy: a call for surgical restraint and clinical nuance in endometriosis-associated ovarian masses.

Integrative gene ontology-driven analysis of the eutopic endometrium reveals key dysregulated functionomes and pathways in endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and an increased risk of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. Despite extensive research, its molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This …

Evaluation of brain pain centers in endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain: Retrospective insights into central sensitization using a novel magnetic resonance imaging technique.

To investigate alterations in brain pain-processing networks using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) in women with endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain and to evaluate neurobiological evidence of central sensitization relevant …
