Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging hybrid biomedical imaging modality that combines the high molecular contrast of optical excitation with the deep tissue penetration of ultrasound detection. This review presents …
Endometriosis is characterized by enhanced cellular proliferation, migration, and resistance to apoptosis, contributing to lesion persistence and progression. Targeting cellular plasticity and mesenchymal-associated functions may therefore represent a promising therapeutic …
The transient receptor potential melastatin 3 (TRPM3) channel is a key mediator of peripheral pain signaling, and pathogenic mutations in TRPM3 are linked to neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. Despite the …
Evidence increasingly shows small nerve fibre pathology in subsets of people with fibromyalgia through skin biopsy, corneal confocal microscopy, and microneurography. However, blood-based biomarkers of ongoing neuronal damage, particularly neurofilament …
Endometriosis (EMT) is an incurable and painful chronic illness that affects approximately 10% of people assigned female at birth worldwide. Currently, EMT takes on average 5-7 years to diagnose after …
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 inflammatory gynecological condition that affects millions of women and people with uteri globally, with limited available treatments. In this work, we explore using ionic liquid (IL)-coated …
Diagnosing ovarian lesions is challenging because of their heterogeneous clinical presentations. Some benign ovarian conditions, such as endometriosis, can have features that mimic cancer. We use optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) …
The extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influences cell behavior, yet its properties in human endometrial lesions (HEL) and human uterine fibromas (HUF) are not well characterized. This study aimed to characterize …
Ovarian cancer is considered a predominant female reproductive malignancy and poses a significant threat due to its 80-90% fatality rate. The typical approach involves surgery and chemotherapy, which due to …
