Reproductive disorders such as endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are increasingly recognized as immune-mediated conditions, yet their immunopathology remains poorly understood. Menstrual blood, a noninvasive and biologically relevant sample, …
Endometriosis remains an underdiagnosed gynecological condition due to the lack of validated non-invasive biomarkers. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6), serum cancer antigen 125 …
Can the transcriptomic profile of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from menstrual fluid (MF) provide preliminary insights into their potential roles as biomarkers and mediators in endometriosis (EM) progression?
Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a chronic estrogen dependent disorder where ectopic endometrial-like tissue causes pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis is challenging to diagnose due to symptom …
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory disorder associated with substantial diagnostic delay and limited therapeutic options, highlighting the need of robust non-invasive biomarkers and actionable molecular targets to complement existing …
To develop and validate a non-invasive, blood-based diagnostic assay for endometriosis that performs accurately across menstrual cycl phases and complements existing imaging modalities.
Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) presents significant diagnostic challenges, often involving multiple pathologies, including endometriosis and pelvic venous disorders. This study examined the prevalence of endometriosis among women with confirmed pelvic …
Oxidative stress has emerged as a key factor regulating female fertility, reproductive aging, and the development of various gynecologic and pregnancy-associated diseases. While physiological concentrations of reactive oxygen species play …
Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we …
Background: The individual and social burden of endometriosis is high, and the diagnosis is usually delayed by 7-10 years. Menstrual effluent (ME) represents an accessible and uniquely informative biofluid. This …
