How is endometrial and systemic immunity modulated throughout the menstrual cycle and are there changes in women with endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with immune dysregulation in which angiogenic, and hematopoietic mediators are thought to contribute to ectopic lesion establishment and persistence. Whether circulating immune cells are …
Endometriosis is an inflammatory gynecologic disease characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, resulting in pelvic pain and infertility. T-helper 9 (Th9) cells play a known role in various chronic …
Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease affecting approximately 10-15% of women of reproductive age, often resulting in chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its high prevalence, diagnosis is frequently delayed. …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) has been implicated in immune dysregulation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and fibrosis. Data on baseline secretion of TGF-β isoforms …
Background/Objectives: The diagnosis of endometriosis (EM) remains challenging due to the lack of a perfect diagnostic standard and the poor concordance between clinical symptoms and lesion severity. Although laparoscopy is …
Reproductive disorders such as endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are increasingly recognized as immune-mediated conditions, yet their immunopathology remains poorly understood. Menstrual blood, a noninvasive and biologically relevant sample, …
Soluble immune mediators are key regulators of immune responses that help maintain self-tolerance and prevent autoimmunity. Recently, many forms of these mediators have been found, including soluble immune checkpoints, soluble …
NK-cell dysfunction in endometriosis is suggested to contribute to the survival of ectopic endometrial tissue. However, the underlying causes of this impairment remain unclear. NK cells are divided into: CD56+bright, …
Objective: To investigate the differences in clinicopathological and molecular characteristics between pure ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (POEC) and synchronous endometrial and ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (SEOEC), aiming to provide a basis for …
