Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. …
Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been …
Endometriosis (EM) is a debilitating disease involving the growth of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. To further our understanding of epigenomic dysregulation in EM and search for disease …
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a well-established etiological agent for cervical cancer, yet its contribution to endometrial malignancies remains underrecognized and mechanistically distinct. This paper synthesizes current evidence to explain the …
Mules (Equus mulus), as sterile hybrids between mares and donkeys, present a unique uterine morphology and physiology that remains poorly characterized. This study provides the first histomorphometric evaluation and transcriptional …
Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in the myometrium, causing chronic pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding. Although dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) in stromal cells …
Endosalpingiosis is a rare, benign condition characterized by ectopic cystic glands lined with ciliated cuboidal epithelium, histologically resembling the fallopian tube. Its etiology remains uncertain but is hypothesized to result …
Ovarian steroid hormones-estrogen and progesterone-play a central role in regulating epithelial-stromal interactions in the uterus. These interactions are critical for uterine function, including endometrial receptivity, implantation, and decidualization. These interactions …
IntroductionTransgender men are assigned female sex at birth, but identify with a masculine gender identity, prompting them to undergo gender-affirming surgery, usually following androgen therapy, which induces changes in histology …
Polypoidal rectal endometriosis is a rare and diagnostically challenging manifestation of deep infiltrating endometriosis that may mimic colorectal malignancy, especially in women lacking classical cyclical symptoms. We report such a …
