Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been …
Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a chronic estrogen dependent disorder where ectopic endometrial-like tissue causes pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis is challenging to diagnose due to symptom …
A murine model of endometriosis was employed to evaluate the pharmacological efficacy of therapeutic compounds. Endometriosis was modeled by autotransplantation of uterine horn fragments onto the intestinal mesentery in three …
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory disorder associated with substantial diagnostic delay and limited therapeutic options, highlighting the need of robust non-invasive biomarkers and actionable molecular targets to complement existing …
The origin of ectopic gynecologic lesions has been debated since 1927, when Sampson first proposed retrograde menstruation as the underlying cause of endometriosis. Reproduction in mammals is an unusually permissive …
Pelvic MRI is increasingly performed as a second-line investigation in suspected complex cases of endometriosis, to precisely localize lesions and to optimise surgical planning. To facilitate MRI evaluation and inter-disciplinary …
Vulvar endometriosis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis, particularly when located at the site of a prior episiotomy. Often misdiagnosed as more common vulvar pathologies, these lesions may …
Endometriosis is a chronic hormone-responsive disorder linked to infertility, usually characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium in the pelvis that disrupts local homeostasis. Advances in single-cell "omic" methods have …
Accessory Cavitated Uterine Malformation (ACUM) can be misdiagnosed as other uterine pathologies, such as Müllerian anomalies, adenomyosis, or fibroids. In the present case series, we report on data of eleven …
This study evaluates the synergistic therapeutic effect of metformin (MET) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on endometriosis (EM) and investigates the involvement of the steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) and mitogen-inducible …
