Endometriosis (ENDO), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 190 million women globally, is characterized by fibrosis, a feature often challenging to replicate in murine models. To identify an optimal syngeneic …
Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity with an accompanying chronic inflammatory process. The etiology of the disease is still not fully understood. An important role …
Andrographolide is a compound that serves as an anti-inflammatory agent. M2 macrophages promote the disease, while M1 macrophages inhibit endometriosis progression.
In women with endometriosis, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) or chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) is elevated in serum, peritoneal fluid, and endometriotic lesions, though its exact role in …
We recently showed that endometriotic peritoneal fluid (PF) altered the regulation of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and H3K27me3. This study aimed to determine if PF by regulating EZH2/H3K27me3 …
Endometriosis is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain and lacks precise pathophysiological mechanisms. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), markers of oxidative stress and inflammation, are implicated in pain-related diseases …
Pelvic pain, often associated with endometriosis, significantly affects women's quality of life. This study explored the soluble neural cell adhesion molecules (sNCAM), soluble interleukin 2 receptor α (sIL-2Rα), and IL-2 …
A 62-year-old otherwise healthy Caucasian female patient presented to the emergency department with a one-day history of severe abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea and non-bloody emesis. She did not report …
Endometriosis is a chronic disorder in which endometrial-like tissue presents outside the uterus. Patients with endometriosis have been shown to exhibit aberrant immune responses within the lesion microenvironment and in …
Endometriosis is a chronic disease which has been reported to be associated with distorted immune mechanisms. The alternative pathway is a complement system which plays a role in immune defense. …
