Tea, among the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, is rich in polyphenolic compounds known as catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This review aims to synthesize recent findings and ongoing controversies …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder. Cholesterol (CHO) has been reported to be closely associated with estrogen synthesis and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the effects of cholesterol …
The immunology of fertilization, implantation and pregnancy is based on a complex balance between maternal immune tolerance and a controlled inflammatory response. Adaptation of the maternal immune system is essential …
In this opinion, we propose that compromised microvascular perfusion and inflammation are fundamental drivers of chronic pain syndromes, with many of these conditions sharing a common etiology involving suboptimal blood …
Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial glands and stroma grow within the uterine myometrium. As a clinically significant disease, adenomyosis causes substantial pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. It remains understudied due …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-driven inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women globally. Despite increasing genomic insights into advanced-stage disease, the genetic underpinnings of early-stage endometriosis remain poorly understood, …
Although per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure has been linked to endometriosis, this association remains controversial, and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate this relationship and …
Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress is a critical factor in the development and progression of endometriosis. Granulosa cells, which reside near oocytes in follicles, exhibit steroidogenic activity, and, consequently, influence oocyte quality. …
Inflammatory mechanisms mediate neuropathies in patients with endometriosis. The ENA-78 and CGRP genes are involved in pain signaling and inflammatory responses in these patients. However, the regulatory role of miRNAs …
The immune system is crucial in protecting against disease, but it can also contribute to chronic illnesses when it malfunctions, with different conditions involving either inflammation or immune suppression. Current …
