Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological disease greatly affecting women health. Prior studies have implicated that dysferlin (DYSF) aberration might be involved in the pathogenesis of ovarian endometriosis. In the …
Exosomes are small bilayer-lipid membrane vesicles secreted by living cells that are able to transfer regulatory molecules and genetic information from one cell to another. These vesicles are enriched with …
Diaphragmatic endometriosis is extremely rare. Although endometriosis is considered generally benign, malignant transformation of endometriosis was reported in 1925. Multiple studies have since described clear cell carcinoma (CCC) or endometrioid …

To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic value of endometriosis in young patients with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) and ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC).
Risk factors for ovarian cancer include a number of genetic variants as well as endometriosis. The FAS-FASL system is one of the apoptotic pathways that play an essential role in …
Small Heat shock proteins (sHsp) are a group of chaperone proteins. Under conditions of stress, the expression of sHsp is increased. Therefore, they are implicated in the pathogenesis of various …
