Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects 5% to 10% of women of childbearing age, often causing pelvic pain and infertility. Fibrosis is a hallmark of EM progression, …
The NOD-like receptor family containing pyridine domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome serves as a pivotal mediator of innate immune responses and a central driver of inflammatory processes. Upon detection of pathogenic …
Ovarian endometrioma (OMA), the most prevalent and clinically consequential subtype of endometriosis, represents a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial-like lesions. This condition manifests as progressive dysmenorrhea, ovarian reserve …
Endometriosis, traditionally viewed as a gynecological condition, is increasingly recognized as a systemic disease due to its frequent association with inflammatory and autoimmune comorbidities. Recent molecular and genetic insights reveal …
This FIGO committee opinion paper addresses the growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to common gynecologic and reproductive conditions across the life course. From adolescence through menopause, women are …
Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition that causes chronic, life-altering symptoms including pain and infertility. There is an urgent need for new non-hormonal targeted therapeutics to treat endometriosis, but until …
Endometriosis is a complex gynecological condition affecting 10% of women globally, characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, reduced quality of …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder with unclear molecular mechanisms. Ferroptosis, a regulated iron-dependent cell death, may play a key role, yet the specific genes involved remain underexplored.
Endometriosis affects about 10% of women usually of reproductive age. It often has severe negative impacts on patients' quality of life, but the average time to a definitive diagnosis remains …
The immune system is hypothesized to contribute to the onset of endometriosis lesions. However, the precise mechanisms underlying its role are not yet known. We introduce a novel compartmental model …
