Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age. Despite extensive research, its …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 6-10% of women of reproductive age in the general population and remains a major cause of chronic pelvic pain and …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease sustained by aberrant angiogenesis and progressive fibrosis. We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of human dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DP-MSCs) in a surgically …
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous gynecological disorder characterized by chronic pain, infertility, and substantial impairment of quality of life. Increasing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of endometriosis pathogenesis …
The establishment of a successful pregnancy depends on proper embryo development and coordinated endometrial differentiation, particularly through the process of decidualization. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), especially those derived from endometrial …
Endometriosis-associated pelvic pain represents a prototypical failure of systemic therapy for a locally organized, neuroinflammatory disease. Persistent pain arises from the convergence of estrogen-driven lesion survival, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and …
Estrogen stimulates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in endometrial tissue, and CRH signaling contributes to inflammation and pain, suggesting a mechanistic role in endometriosis pathophysiology. We previously identified elevated CRH receptor-1 …
Endometriosis, affecting 1 in 9 women, presents treatment and diagnostic challenges. To address these issues, we generated a comprehensive single-cell atlas of endometrial tissue, comprising 466,371 cells from 35 endometriosis …
Angiogenesis mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is essential for physiological vascular remodeling but also drives pathological processes, including tumor growth, ocular neovascularization, and inflammation. Emerging evidence has …
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
