Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we …
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 …
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 …
Identification of appropriate biomarkers is of great clinical significance for early diagnosis of endometriosis (EMs). This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the association between EMs and blood and urine biomarkers …
