Endometriosis-derived exosomal MicroRNA-125b-5p downregulates phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Protein Kinase B signaling pathways via vascular endothelial growth factor to decelerate endometriosis progression.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic enigmatic gynecological disorder which pathogenesis have not been fully elucidated. Exosomes have been proven to participate in endometriosis. However, the role of exosomes in the …

Extrapolation of the Tinelli's Score for Vascular Involvement in Deep Endometriosis: A Case-Based Perspective.

Understanding Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Women From Puberty to Menopause.

Women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experience distinct physiologic and clinical challenges across their lifespan. In childhood and adolescence, early exposure to corticosteroids, chronic inflammation, and malnutrition may impair pubertal …

Safety and efficacy of hormonal therapies used to treat endometriosis in women suffering migraine.

Hormonal therapy is the cornerstone of long-term endometriosis management, especially for women deferring surgery. In patients with comorbid migraine - a common, disabling condition - therapeutic choices must balance efficacy …

Attenuated Cyclooxygenase-Mediated Vasodilation in Cutaneous Microvasculature with No Difference in Platelet Aggregation in Women with Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory disease known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The inducible form of cyclooxygenase (COX), COX-2, is an inflammatory enzyme upregulated in endometriosis with COX …

The AGE-RAGE Pathway in Endometriosis: A Focused Mechanistic Review and Structured Evidence Map.

High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) and S100 proteins are major ligands of Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) and have causal roles in endometriosis lesions. Yet the AGE-RAGE pathway …

Targeting angiogenesis in endometriosis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of VEGF-directed pharmacotherapies.

Aberrant vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-driven angiogenesis is central to the establishment and persistence of endometriosis. Although numerous anti-angiogenic compounds have been tested, evidence remains fragmented, and no comparative framework …

Oxidative Stress Mediated by Macrophages Promotes Angiogenesis and Early Development of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent gynecological disease manifested by cyclic pelvic pain and female infertility. Although many studies have shown that neoangiogenesis plays an essential role in the development of early …

Hormonal treatment in endometriosis fails to prevent IL-6 increase and endometrium fibrosis but regulates levels of CYP17A, VEGF, and NFkB.

Endometriosis is a gynecological inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial-like tissue. This study aims to elucidate the effect of hormonal treatment in human endometriosis inflammation, angiogenesis and …

Cholesterol granuloma forming the solid components within an endometrioma showing intense FDG uptake, mimicking malignancy: A case report.

A mural solid component (SC) within an endometrioma (ovarian endometriotic cyst), demonstrating internal vascularity or increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET), is considered a characteristic finding suggestive …
