Endometriosis is a complex disorder with genetic, immune, inflammatory, and multifactorial etiologies. Zinc, an essential trace element, plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. Dysregulation or deficiency of zinc …
Chronic endometritis (CE) is an important factor leading to decreased endometrial receptivity, infertility, and repeated pregnancy loss; endometrial immune dysfunction, abnormal microbial flora, inflammatory status, and other factors play important …
Endometriosis is characterized as a macrophage-related ailment due to its strong link with immune dysfunction. Understanding the status of macrophage polarization in the context of endometriosis-related infertility is crucial for …
Endometriosis is a complex, chronic inflammatory disease in which immune system disorders play an important role. Soluble mediators of the immune and inflammatory response, including cytokines, are involved in these …
Background: Inflammation and immune cell dysfunction are critical facilitators of endometriosis pathophysiology. Macrophages are renowned for stimulating lesion growth, vascularization, innervation, and pain generation. By combining macrophages and endometriotic cells, …
Previous studies have identified associations between immune cell traits and endometriosis, but the causality of these relationships remains uncertain. In this study, we utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the …
Understanding of molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, and upstream drivers of lesion formation, remains limited. Using a C57Bl/6 mouse model in which decidualized endometrial tissue is injected …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent chronic gynecological condition that depends on estrogen, marked by the presence of active endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterus. Although pathologically benign, it …
The cGAS-STING pathway has become a crucial role in the detection of cytosolic DNA and the initiation of immune responses. The cGAS-STING pathway not only mediates protective immune defense against …
To determine whether tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), which reflect organized immune cell aggregates present in non-lymphoid tissues, are consistent features of endometriosis lesions.
