To screen immune-related biomarkers in diagnosing patients with both endometriosis (EM) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Decidualization of endometrial stromal cells involves significant morphological and functional changes in which alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression decreases. Meflin, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein, suppresses αSMA expression and inhibits fibrosis in …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a heterogeneous clinical presentation, in which pain represents the predominant symptom. The association between pain severity and intraoperative disease stage remains unclear, …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life, and is frequently associated with prolonged diagnostic delay and variable treatment response. Although advances …
Elagolix is a short-acting oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist utilized for treating endometriosis-associated pain by rapidly suppressing gonadotropins and estradiol. Although well characterized in Western populations, clinical data regarding its use …
Endometriosis is underpinned by dysfunctional immune responses resulting in failure to clear ectopic endometrial lesions from the peritoneal cavity. The pelvic milieu comprising immature dendritic cells, dysfunctional cytotoxic lymphocytes, and …
To determine the diagnostic performance of each additional step of the four-step International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus protocol for predicting the presence of deep endometriosis (DE) on transvaginal ultrasound.
The transient receptor potential melastatin 3 (TRPM3) channel is a key mediator of peripheral pain signaling, and pathogenic mutations in TRPM3 are linked to neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. Despite the …
Diaphragmatic endometriosis is a rare and often underrecognized manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis that may lead to severe complications such as diaphragmatic rupture or herniation. We report the case of a …
Endometriosis has been associated with alterations in the reproductive tract microbiota, yet studies focusing on the endometrial microbiome remain inconsistent, partly due to the low-biomass nature of this niche and …
