Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, is a condition associated with pain and infertility. In this issue of the JCI, Lv et al. illuminate the …
Endometriosis (EMS) belongs to a gynecological disorder with inflammation and the existence of endometrial-like tissues beyond the uterus, often leading to infertility and pelvic pain. Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) is …
Endometriosis is a common chronic disorder characterized by the growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. The disease is associated with chronic inflammation and pelvic pain and may have …
This study investigated the correlation of Apolipoprotein-B mRNA-editing complex 3B (APOBEC3B) expression with hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) …
This study aimed to measure the correlation between miR-183 and gene expression that regulates apoptosis and adhesion mechanism that may be linked to the pathogenesis of endometriosis.
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death process characterized by the accumulation of lethal oxidative damage. Localized iron overload is a unique clinical phenomenon in ovarian endometriosis (EM). However, the …
Venous thromboembolism is a serious safety concern in women using combined oral contraceptives; ethinyl estradiol (EE) is widely used as an estrogen. Estetrol (E4) is a native estrogen with selective …
P2X3 and P2X2/3 receptors are promising therapeutic targets for pain treatment and selective inhibitors are under evaluation in ongoing clinical trials. Here we aim to consolidate and quantitatively evaluate the …
P21-activated kinase 5 (PAK5) belongs to the PAK-II subfamily, which is an important regulator of cell survival, adhesion, and motility. However, the functions of PAK5 in endometriosis remain unclear. Here, …
Zearalenone (ZEA), has emerged as a potential endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC). Previous results show ZEA effects on endometrial stromal cell apoptosis, migration, and growth of endometriosis. Despite the reported presence of …
