The first trimester (FT) of pregnancy is characterized by rapid placental growth and differentiation, rendering this period sensitive to maternal metabolic influences. Maternal obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation …
Since cumulus cells (CCs) play an undeniable role in oocyte maturation by producing and transferring important molecules to the oocyte, examining these cells can provide a broad view of the …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease. Although several studies have suggested a key role for estrogen receptor ERβ in EMS lesion development, its detection has been challenged by …
The anion exchanger 1 (AE1), traditionally known for its role in erythrocyte anion transport and acid-base homeostasis, has recently been identified in non-erythroid tissues, suggesting broader physiological functions. In the …
The research by Chen et al. (2024) presents an innovative hypothesis linking creatine metabolism to ferroptosis resistance in endometriotic stromal cells via PrP suppression. While conceptually valuable, methodological aspects warrant …
To evaluate central arterial stiffness, endothelial function, and circulating vascular biomarkers in women with ovarian endometriosis and to explore their associations compared with age-matched controls.
Buserelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, reduces gonadotropin and estrogen levels and is commonly used to alleviate the symptoms of endometriosis. Vitamin D3 has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic …
Tokishakuyakusan (TSS), a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine, is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. This study examined the effects of TSS on fecundity and endometriosis-like lesions during pregnancy in …
Women remain underrepresented in clinical drug development despite their unique biological characteristics and growing disease burden. In China, this disparity is particularly concerning given the rising incidence of gynecologic conditions …
Lactoferrin (LF), a multifunctional glycoprotein of the transferrin family, exhibits anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease commonly treated with progesterone therapy; however, progesterone receptor (PGR) …
