To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist elagolix for endometriosis-associated pain symptoms in adolescents and young adults (AYA).
Elagolix sodium (ELS), a non-peptide oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH) antagonist approved for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain, displays atypical gelation in aqueous environments along with challenging physical properties such …
Endometriosis is a chronic, incurable disease. Due to limited efficacy, high recurrence rates, and serious side effects of current treatments, development of new, targeted, non-hormonal therapies is urgently needed. We …
Epithelial ovarian carcinoma is a common gynecologic malignancy. Evidence from several studies suggests that subtypes of this cancer-specifically clear-cell ovarian carcinoma and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (ENOC)-are associated with endometriosis. FBXW7 …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease with multifactorial pathogenesis. Increasing evidence suggests that alterations in the gut and reproductive tract microbiota may contribute to disease development, …
Despite ongoing challenges in developing effective non-surgical and non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis, the psychological manifestations of the disease-particularly anxiety-remain comparatively underexplored. In this study, a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-releasing aspirin derivative, …
Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and progesterone receptor (PGR) are essential regulators for endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation. Their expression is dysregulated in women with endometriosis-associated infertility. However, the relationship between …
Endometriosis (EM) is associated with immune dysregulation, while dysfunction of natural killer (NK) cells is regarded as a key mechanism underlying immune escape and the persistent growth of ectopic lesions.
