Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Modeling and Simulation of Merigolix, a Nonpeptide Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists inhibit estrogen synthesis and secretion, making them promising treatment options for estrogen-dependent diseases, such as endometriosis. This study developed a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model for merigolix, …

Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Endometriosis by Questionnaires in Patients Using Contraception.

Background/Objectives: The assessment of endometriosis (EMS)-associated pain is important, but only very few studies address the potential use of questionnaires for non-invasive prediction of the disease. Methods: In a prospective …

EGR1 promotes ferroptosis in endometriosis through transcriptional activation of HMOX1.

Endometriosis (EM) affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and remains a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder with limited therapeutic efficacy and high recurrence rates. Ferroptosis-an iron-dependent, non-apoptotic form of …

Andrographolide blocked the progression of endometriosis by promoting ferroptosis via inhibiting anabolism of serine.

Ferroptosis is a potential target for the treatment of endometriosis (EMs). The role of andrographolide (AP) in the ferroptosis has gradually attracted attention, but its mechanism of action in endometriosis …

Editorial Note: Short treatment with antalarmin alters adrenal gland receptors in the rat model of endometriosis.

Pharmacophoric Investigation of a Natural Product-like Class of Aromatase Inhibitors Using Molecular Modeling.

Endometriosis is a condition affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women in which endometrial tissue is found in locations outside the uterus, often causing debilitating symptoms. Aromatase, an enzyme that also …

APOL1-mediated kidney disease: a narrative review of the lessons learnt from the past 15 years.

Fifteen years have elapsed since the publication of the seminal work establishing the association between risk variants in the Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene and kidney disease in individuals of African …

Patient-centered priorities in endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain: A mixed-methods and thematic analysis of intake narratives.

Understanding what patients prioritize when seeking care for endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is crucial for delivering personalized, responsive care. However, patient-defined goals remain poorly characterized across various life …

Compound design of a patient-derived 3D cell culture system modelling early peritoneal endometriosis.

Peritoneal endometriosis causes pelvic pain and infertility, but the underlying mechanisms related to these symptoms are not fully understood. Endometriosis diagnosis is typically delayed; thus, patient samples are unsuitable to …

Dysregulated autophagy in endometriosis: molecular mechanisms, controversies, and clinical implications.

Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases in women and is still one of the most understudied diseases, affecting the daily lives of patients. Although the exact cause …
