Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent disease characterized by altered endometrial stromal function, but mechanistic and translational studies have been hindered by the lack of tractable human models. Here, we establish …
Endometrial organoids are a powerful, 3D in vitro system for studying reproductive function and disease since they are more physiologically representative than 2D cell models. However, optimal methods for the …
Endometriosis, defined as the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity, is an inflammatory and hormone-dependent disease that causes excruciating pelvic pain, infertility, and significantly decreases quality …
This paper critically evaluates Sekiguchi et al.'s study of vaginal progesterone dose, serum progesterone thresholds, and reproductive outcomes in hormone replacement therapy frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) cycles. The study conflates …
Endometriosis is frequently managed with hormonal suppression that can induce hypoestrogenism during a period when many patients are still accruing peak bone mass. This narrative review summarizes current clinical and …
Australian endometriosis guidelines recommend transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) as the first-line investigation for endometriosis. Where endometriosis has been surgically treated, there is a risk of recurrent disease and repeat surgery. It …
Pain is a defining symptom of endometriosis reducing quality of life and increasing the risk of psychological disorders. We conducted an open-label, randomized, controlled trial to investigate whether structured coaching …
Background: This review aims to systematically summarize the lineage origins, subtype classification, and functional dynamics of endometrial macrophages, clarify their mechanisms of action in normal reproductive physiology (menstrual cycle, pregnancy) …
A 27-year-old nulliparous woman presented with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) (8/10 on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)), dysmenorrhea, heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), and a family history of endometriosis. She had …
Ovarian seromucinous carcinoma is generally classified within the spectrum of endometrioid carcinoma. We report a rare ovarian carcinoma with mucoepidermoid carcinoma-like features arising in direct association with a seromucinous borderline …
