Endometriosis, subclinical cardiac remodeling, and cardiovascular risk: mechanistic insights from cardiac magnetic resonance and mediation analysis.
Endometriosis is a systemic gynecological disorder affecting ~ 10% of reproductive-aged women and shares pathophysiological features with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, its associations with cardiac remodeling and CVD risk, as …
Estradiol alters actin and protrusion dynamics in endometriotic epithelial cells.
Estradiol (E2), a sex steroid hormone molecule, plays a key role in regulating the actin and shape dynamics of cells in a multitude of normal and pathophysiological conditions. While cytoskeletal …
