Endometriosis and adenomyosis are both characterised by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growing outside the endometrium of the uterus, however, they are ultimately distinct diseases with different pathophysiological mechanisms. Endometriosis and adenomyosis …
Adenomyosis is a heterogeneous, nonmalignant uterine disorder characterized by ectopic endometrium within the myometrium, leading to abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and subfertility. Once considered a disease of …
Endometriosis is underpinned by dysfunctional immune responses resulting in failure to clear ectopic endometrial lesions from the peritoneal cavity. The pelvic milieu comprising immature dendritic cells, dysfunctional cytotoxic lymphocytes, and …
Diaphragmatic endometriosis is a rare and often underrecognized manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis that may lead to severe complications such as diaphragmatic rupture or herniation. We report the case of a …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder affecting women of reproductive age, often leading to chronic pain, reduced quality of life, and infertility. It is characterized by ectopic endometrial growth within …
Endometriosis is a benign yet invasive disease characterized by ectopic endometrial growth and immune remodeling. While emerging evidence implicates cellular senescence in disease progression, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. …
Endometriosis (EM) is associated with immune dysregulation, while dysfunction of natural killer (NK) cells is regarded as a key mechanism underlying immune escape and the persistent growth of ectopic lesions.
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder frequently associated with infertility and characterized by progesterone resistance and impaired endometrial receptivity. While ectopic lesions define the disease, accumulating evidence indicates that molecular …
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is considered to participate in regulating the endometriosis (EM) process. However, other functions and mechanisms of BDNF in EM progression still need to be further studied.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium. Achieving effective therapeutic outcomes for endometriosis has always been a significant clinical hurdle because of the high …
