Perioperative Anesthetic and Hormonal Considerations in a Patient With Anti-glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Encephalitis: A Case Report.

Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is vital for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis. Auto-antibodies against GAD deplete GAD levels and subsequently GABA, resulting in a hyper-excitatory state. A 41-year-old woman with anti-GAD …

Unravelling the Intricate Link: Mast Cells and Estrogen-Induced Pain Sensitization in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynaecological disorder characterized by estrogen-dependent lesions. Pain-particularly dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia-is the hallmark symptom of endometriosis. While pain mechanisms remain poorly understood, mast cells …

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 …

Comment on "Deciphering the Molecular Crosstalk of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Immune Infiltration in Endometriosis".

Leveraging the role of the microbiome in endometriosis: novel non-invasive and therapeutic approaches.

Endometriosis (EMS) is an oestrogen-dependent condition characterised by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth with a chronic and inflammatory nature leading to severe symptoms and reduced quality of life. Emerging evidence implicates …

Endometriosis and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background/Objectives: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and endometriosis are debilitating conditions that share overlapping features of chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation, yet their epidemiological relationship remains poorly characterized. The objective …

Effects of Exosomes Derived From Eutopic Endometrial Cells in Endometriosis and the Discovery of Related Serum miRNA Biomarkers for Endometriosis.

Exosomes are secreted by most cell types and reflect the internal state of their cells of origin, playing crucial roles in the progression of various pathological conditions. Endometriosis is a …

Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of endometriosis and its clinical manifestations in ~1.4 million women: translating gene discovery into pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets.

We conducted a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of endometriosis and adenomyosis in almost 1.4 million women, including 105,869 cases, aiming to expand endometriosis loci discovery across ancestries, dissect symptom-specific effects, …

Dysfunction of natural killer cells promotes immune escape and disease progression in endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by dysregulated innate immunity, particularly impaired cytotoxic function of natural killer (NK) cells. As pivotal effectors of the innate immune response, NK …

Polychlorinated biphenyl Endocrine Disruptor Alters Estrogen Receptor beta-Mediated Epigenetic Regulation, Promoting Endometriosis.

Background Endometriosis is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic proliferation of endometrial cells, resulting in chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been implicated in …
