Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a pelvic lesion-centered disease; however, mounting evidence indicates it is a chronic, systemic, and multifactorial inflammatory disorder. This review examines the molecular dialog between ectopic …
Endometriosis is a chronic and debilitating gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide (190 million), often leading to chronic pain, infertility, and considerable economic burden. Despite …
Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition …
Numerous abnormalities of the endometriosis eutopic endometrium contribute to the initiation and development of ectopic lesions. It is also believed that among the complex causes of the disease, systemic immunological …
Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems provide physiologically relevant models that better replicate in vivo cell architecture and function compared to the conventional two-dimensional cultures. In reproductive biology, 3D models of endometrial …
Low vitamin D levels have been associated with female infertility, but the underlying mechanisms are not understood.
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder. According to the most widely recognized theory of retrograde menstruation, endometrial cells require completion of three key steps during ectopic implantation: adhesion, invasion, …
The likelihood of a successful pregnancy is influenced by a set of variables that influence endometrial receptivity, including hormonal, genetic, metabolic, age, lifestyle, and immunological factors. Among these, the endometrial …
Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare gynecologic malignancy primarily arising in the uterine corpus and ovaries. It shares remarkable similarities in its histomorphology, immunophenotype, and molecular features with mesonephric adenocarcinoma …
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) occurs in 10-15% of IVF cycles with evidence from a few randomized control trials (RCTs) that local endometrial injury (LEI) leads to higher live birth rates …
