C-kit, E-cadherin and beta-catenin adhesion molecules and proto-oncogenes are thought to be associated with molecular mechanisms related to the invasion, implantation and persistence of ectopic endometrial cells. Comparing the expression …
Digital symptom checkers (SCs) are increasingly used to support early symptom recognition and care-seeking, yet evidence on their cost-effectiveness remains limited. We conducted an economic evaluation of a digital SC …
Endometriomsis (EMs) is a complex and chronic gynecological disease characterized by distressing symptoms. Its pathogenesis remains unknown, and there is no effective treatment. Therefore, establishing patient-derived models is crucial for …
Phthalates (PAEs), typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that accumulate in the human body to induce reproductive toxicity, have epidemiological links to endometriosis (EM), but the underlying micro-mechanisms remain unclear. Ferroptosis is …
Multi-omics data are instrumental in obtaining a comprehensive picture of complex biological systems. This is particularly useful for women's health conditions such as endometriosis, which has been historically understudied despite …
We investigated whether ovarian endometriomas uniformly express functional FSH receptors (FSHR) and respond to FSH by activating transcriptional programs that drive aromatase and steroid hormone production. Endometrioma cyst capsules were …
Endometriosis (EM) is driven by immune dysregulation and macrophage dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, metabolomic profiling revealed excessive itaconate accumulation in EM lesions, primarily due to elevated …
The present review aims to ascertain whether reproductive disorders are associated with specific physical, mental, personality, and social traits. This information may be used to support or reject the hypothesis …
Background: The individual and social burden of endometriosis is high, and the diagnosis is usually delayed by 7-10 years. Menstrual effluent (ME) represents an accessible and uniquely informative biofluid. This …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It affects approximately 10-15% of women of reproductive age globally and is characterized …
