Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that may be influenced by bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical commonly found in food-contact plastics. BPA has been implicated in altered steroidogenesis, immune …
Cancer treatments can deplete the ovarian follicle reserve, causing infertility and early menopause, with subsequent decline in cardiovascular, cognitive, and overall women's health. Medical measures to prevent this chemotherapy-induced ovarian …
Endometrosis is a chronic degenerative condition of the mare endometrium characterized by progressive fibrosis and glandular alterations that impair uterine function and fertility. Its pathogenesis involves persistent inflammation, the activation …
Ovarian endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder in which endometrial stromal cells are key cellular contributors to hormone-immune crosstalk and lesion persistence. Here, we isolated paired eutopic (NESC) and ectopic …
Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in other parts of the body. It affects roughly 1 in 10 women of …
Abnormal uterotubal junction (UTJ) structure is implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and infertility; however, this relationship remains poorly characterized. We quantitatively characterized the orientation of collagen fiber bundles in …
In 2024, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) published a report entitled Advancing Research on Chronic Conditions in Women. A major purpose of this report was to …
Endometrial dysfunction represents a central pathological factor underlying recurrent implantation failure and infertility. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the physiological basis of endometrial function, the pathological factors compromising …
Lactate is increasingly recognized not only as a metabolic end product of glycolysis but also as a signaling metabolite that links metabolic reprogramming to epigenetic and transcriptional regulation through protein …
Natural bioactive compounds, such as curcumin, polyphenols, and flavonoids are important in the prevention and treatment of lifestyle disorders like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Their immunomodulatory, antiviral, antioxidant, and …
