Mare endometrosis is a chronic degenerative condition of the endometrium, primarily characterized by fibrosis, involving interactions among fibroblasts, immune cells, and epithelial cells regulated by cytokines and growth factors. T …
Diseases of the female reproductive system are prevalent. These conditions often have a high proportion of asymptomatic patients and prolonged treatment durations. Estrogen, a crucial steroid hormone, plays a central …
Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are a heterogeneous group of natural or synthetic chemicals capable of interfering with hormonal regulation. Widely present in plastics, cosmetics, pesticides, food packaging, and household products, they …
Deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) is characterized by the infiltration of endometrial tissue into the pelvic organs, such as the rectovaginal septum, utero-ovarian, and uterosacral ligaments. Bowel involvement occurs in approximately …
Previous studies show that orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) regulated endometriotic cell growth, survival, estrogen receptor β (ERβ), mTOR signaling and fibrosis. NR4A2 is also expressed in epithelial and stromal …
Gonadal hormone receptors are widely distributed across the brain, yet their influence on brain structure remains understudied. Here, using precision imaging, we examined four females, including one with endometriosis and …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease with unclear pathogenesis. Recent evidence suggests that ferroptosis plays an important role in the development of endometriosis. In this study, we aimed to explore whether …
Endometriosis can cause gastrointestinal symptoms that sometimes lead to incorrect diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Receptors of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are found in the endometrium and are overexpressed in …
Helixor A, an anticancer drug, has an immunostimulatory effect that increases T and natural killer (NK) cell activity in patients with cancer and endometriosis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its …
Multifunctional small-molecule theranostic agents hold significant clinical potential for non-invasive endometriosis (EMS) management. Current EMS treatment faces challenges due to imprecise lesion localization and therapy-associated side effects. Herein, an integrated …
