Ovarian cysts are common during pregnancy, and dermoid cysts are common benign ovarian tumors, affecting approximately 0.3% of pregnancies, most often detected in the second trimester. Hormonal changes and pressure …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic tissue growth and significant morbidity, yet current hormonal and surgical treatments often fail to prevent recurrence or entail severe side effects. …
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 is a complex disorder associated with dysregulated immune, hormonal, and microenvironmental signaling. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of intercellular communication and may contribute to disease pathogenesis, biomarker discovery, …
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 …
Pain is influenced by a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. Sex has emerged as a key determinant of vulnerability to chronic pain and a major risk factor …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder defined by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth, persistent inflammation, and aberrant innervation. Emerging evidence indicates that disease progression and symptom severity are driven by a …
Background/Objectives: To explore potential dry eye-related ocular surface functional alterations in women at the time of first diagnosis of endometriosis or adenomyosis in a real-world clinical setting. Methods: This was …
Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometrioma, is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), especially the clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, the absolute lifetime risk of OC in …
