Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The current hormonal treatments are unsuitable for women who wish to conceive, highlighting the need for non-hormonal …
Decidual stromal cells (DSCs) are involved in immunoregulatory mechanisms that prevent fetal rejection by the mammalian maternal immune system. Recent studies using single-cell RNA sequencing demonstrated the existence of different …
Do activated fibroblasts expressing fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP) - which is traceable in positron emission topography/computed topography (PET/CT) - play a role in the microenvironment of endometriosis?
Disruptions in uterine tissue function contribute to disorders such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, endometrial cancer, and fibroids, which all significantly impact health and fertility. Advances in transcriptomics, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing, …
Advancements in single-cell analyzis technologies, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS), have enabled the analyzis of cellular diversity by providing resolutions that were not available previously. …
Endometriosis is a benign, estrogen-dependent, persistent chronic inflammatory heterogeneous condition that features fibrotic adhesions caused by periodic bleeding. The characteristic ectopic lesions are marked by a widely spread dense fibrotic …
Impact of Fibrosis and Myofibroblasts in Endometriosis and Pain Development Physician's Weekly
In endometriosis, the tissues similar to the endometrial tissue attaches outside the uterine cavity, causing inflammation and fibrosis. The retrograde menstruation theory is the most plausible mechanism, though the detailed …
DKK1 loss promotes endometrial fibrosis via autophagy and exosome-mediated macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition Journal of Translational Medicine
Intraperitoneal adhesions complicate over half of abdominal-pelvic surgeries with immediate, short, and long-term sequelae of major healthcare concern. The pathogenesis of adhesion development is similar to the pathogenesis of wound …
