Chronic low-grade inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to female infertility. Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 are observed in ovarian conditions including …
These are two of the most common gynecologic diseases, affecting 15% to 80% of women of childbearing age diseases. The existing treatments, such as hormonal drugs and selective estrogen receptor …
Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET is an emerging molecular imaging modality that is widely used in oncology and increasingly investigated in nononcologic diseases. Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a …
Uterine fibroids and endometriosis are common benign gynecological diseases affecting the health of women of childbearing age, characterized by high incidence and recurrence rates. Despite the increasing global emphasis on …
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 …
Ovarian endometriotic cysts (OEC) are classified into early (I-II) and advanced (III-IV) stages. Stage IV OEC is characterized by severe adhesions and anatomical distortion that complicate surgical management. Accurate preoperative …
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 …
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that lipedema may share hormonal, inflammatory, and genetic mechanisms with gynecologic diseases, particularly endometriosis. However, the extent and nature of these interrelationships remain poorly characterized, supporting …
Pharmacogenetics is an emerging discipline that explores how genetic variants affect drug response, potentially leading to side effects or treatment failure. Although widely applied in other medical specialties, its use …
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 …
