Is Recurrent Endometriosis a Reprogrammed Disease? Molecular Persistence Beyond Surgical Clearance.

Background: Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a localized gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue. However, high recurrence rates following apparently complete surgical excision challenge this lesion-based …

Multi-omics Mendelian randomization integrating metabolism, microbiome and immunity supports a putative gut-immune-pelvic pathway in deep infiltrating endometriosis.

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a highly fibrotic and deeply invasive subtype of endometriosis that causes severe pelvic pain, infertility and marked impairment of quality of life. Metabolic, microbial and …

Endobiota-Estrobolome Profiles in Reproductive-Aged Women With Ovarian Endometriosis.

This case-control study investigated whether ovarian endometriosis is associated with altered estrogen metabolism and gut or urogenital microbiota by analyzing enzyme activity, bacterial composition, and variations of estrogen metabolites in …

Microbiome in women with endometriosis and the in vitro effects of Lactobacillus reuteri on human endometrium.

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting ~10% of reproductive-age women, with increasing evidence implicating the microbiome in its pathogenesis through immunomodulation and estrogen metabolism. This study investigated microbiome …

Microecological modulators-new perspectives for treating sex hormone disorders.

Sex hormone related disorders, characterized by complex etiology and long-term health risks, pose a significant challenge to global health. Hormone-based therapies are often accompanied by adverse effects and fail to …

Gut-peritoneal-multisystem axis in endometriosis.

Assessing endometrial microbiota in endometriosis: culturomics and sequencing analysis of receptive-phase tissue.

Endometriosis has been associated with alterations in the reproductive tract microbiota, yet studies focusing on the endometrial microbiome remain inconsistent, partly due to the low-biomass nature of this niche and …

Decoding serotonin in endometriosis: unveiling its role in disease pathogenesis via the gut-reproductive microbiota axis.

How can the potential mechanisms and targets of endometriosis be explored through multi-omics and multi-location approaches?

Shared Pathophysiology and Early Detection Biomarkers in Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Opportunities for AI-Enabled Screening.

Endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are common, multifactorial gynecological disorders shaped by endocrine imbalance, immune dysfunction, metabolic disruption, genetic susceptibility, and environmental exposures. Despite their major contribution to infertility …

Probiotic supplementation improves quality of life and modulates oestradiol in women with endometriosis: a randomised double-blind pilot trial.

Endometriosis is a chronic, oestrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting up to 10% of reproductive-age women, associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Emerging evidence implicates the vaginal microbiome …
