Phthalates (PAEs), typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that accumulate in the human body to induce reproductive toxicity, have epidemiological links to endometriosis (EM), but the underlying micro-mechanisms remain unclear. Ferroptosis is …
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by fibrosis and adhesions. There are still no treatment methods targeting these conditions. One reason for this is the lack of useful animal models to …
We investigated whether ovarian endometriomas uniformly express functional FSH receptors (FSHR) and respond to FSH by activating transcriptional programs that drive aromatase and steroid hormone production. Endometrioma cyst capsules were …
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 …
Female reproductive disorders represent a major global health challenge. Despite their clinical heterogeneity, these conditions share core pathological mechanisms including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, extracellular matrix …
Menopause, endometriosis, miscarriage, and female infertility are health issues affecting women worldwide (nearly half the global population). The biomedical literature is human-readable and evergrowing with around 3.5K papers published daily. …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects ∼10% of women during reproductive age. It is characterised by ectopic (ECT) growth of endometrial-like tissue mainly in the pelvic cavity. …
The human microbiota is increasingly recognized as a key component of women's reproductive health. This narrative review examines the vaginal, endometrial, and gut microbiota and their roles in the pathogenesis …
Estrogens play an important role throughout a woman's life; therefore, disrupting their physiological production will alter hormonal balance with consequences for estrogen-related conditions, such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. The gut …
