Molecular Pathogenesis of Ovarian Endometrioma: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Implications.

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 …

The dual nature of immunotherapy in female reproductive disorders: immune homeostasis and clinical challenges.

The female reproductive system (FRS) exhibits unique immunological characteristics, balancing defense against pathogens with tolerance to sperm and semi-allogeneic embryos. Key players include decidual natural killer (dNK) cells, immune checkpoint …

Big data analysis reveals miR-874 as a suppressor and therapeutic target in the progression from endometriosis to ovarian cancer.

SPP1 as a key modulator of M2 macrophage polarization promotes endometriosis progression via activation of the FAK/PI3K/AKT pathway: A bioinformatics and experimental study.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation and an aberrant immune microenvironment. In this study, we integrated the GSE6364 dataset from the GEO database to identify differentially …

Erastin-induced multi-pathway cell death in endometriosis: a mechanistic and translational narrative review.

This narrative review examines the therapeutic potential of Erastin and its derivatives for endometriosis (EMS) by integrating mechanistic, preclinical, and translational perspectives. We conducted a focused review of literature from …

Pain pathways and stem cells in endometriosis pathogenesis.

As a gynecological disease, endometriosis is a disease in which pain and inflammation are important parts. Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-related situation with a multifactorial etiology that remains incompletely understood. …

Analysis of menstrual effluent uncovers endometriosis-specific cell populations and impaired cellular pathway processes.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease affecting 1 in 10 reproductive-aged women and is characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The leading hypothesis for disease …

Research progress on the correlation between microbiota and endometriosis.

The microbiota constitutes a vital component of the human microenvironment, dynamically responding to physiological changes and playing crucial roles in maintaining normal bodily functions. Endometriosis (EMs), defined as a chronic, …

High-Resolution Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals Fibroblast and Neuroimmune Microenvironments in Endometriosis Lesions.

Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue growing outside of the uterus. One of its main symptoms is chronic pain and inflammation leading …

TET3 is a common epigenetic immunomodulator of pathogenic macrophages.

Through a combination of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq) data analysis, immunohistochemistry, and primary macrophage studies, we have identified pathogenic macrophages characterized by TET3 overexpression (Toe-Macs) in three major human diseases associated …
