Endometriosis is common and poses significant morbidity of lasting impact to young, pre-menopausal women, while ovarian cancer is a lethal gynecologic condition. Both conditions need better treatment. The human omentum …
This study advances sustainable pharmaceutical research for endometriosis by developing in vitro 3D cell culture models of endometriotic pathophysiology that allow antifibrotic drug candidates to be tested. Fibrosis is a …
Endometriosis, a persistent inflammatory disease, is associated with pelvic or abdominal pain. The immune system and sensory nervous system show a synergistic effect on regulation of pain. In particular, Interleukin-33 …
Endometriosis is a prevalent, complex, inflammatory condition associated with a diverse range of symptoms and comorbidities. Despite its substantial burden on patients, population-level studies that explore its comorbid patterns and …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age and about 47% of adolescents with pelvic pain. Symptoms include dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Adolescents often …
Background/Objectives: Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is the process by which epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal properties, which helps endometriotic cells migrate and invade. This study looks at the expression of E-CADHERIN, a …
Excessive exposure to heavy metals has been linked to various health problems, including organ damage, neurological disorders, and reproductive and developmental abnormalities. However, the relationship between heavy metals exposure and …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of premenopausal women, with urinary tract involvement in 1% of cases. Ureteric endometriosis is a rare, typically asymptomatic, cause of obstructive renal failure. We present the …
Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) has been confirmed to suppress inflammation in endometriosis (EMs). Herein, this study investigated whether and how TMP affected NLRP3 inflammasomes and oxidative stress in EMs. After establishment of …
Uterosacral ligaments (USL) are the most common sites of endometriosis. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy for endometriosis of the USLs using standardised technique and characterisations. While high accuracy …
