The AGE-RAGE Pathway in Endometriosis: A Focused Mechanistic Review and Structured Evidence Map.
High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) and S100 proteins are major ligands of Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) and have causal roles in endometriosis lesions. Yet the AGE-RAGE pathway …
Repurposing ramipril to mitigate EMT-like transition in endometriosis by PI3K/AKT/S6K1 signalling pathway: a study in endometriosis induced rats.
Endometriosis, an atypical benign disorder, may disrupt epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) due to a dysregulated balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors. Ramipril, an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is …
Superficial Endometriosis Mimicking Soft Tissue Tumors: A Case Series of Clinical and Characteristic MRI Findings in Eight Patients.
Differentiating superficial endometriosis from soft tissue tumor is important because these two conditions required quite different therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiological imaging findings …
Average oocyte quality index as a method for scoring dysmorphic oocytes in women with ovarian endometrioma undergoing in vitro fertilization and its correlation with ovarian reserve.
This study investigated whether the average oocyte quality index (AOQI), used as a dysmorphic oocyte scoring system, is higher in women with ovarian endometrioma than in those with unexplained infertility …
