Phthalate Metabolite, Mono(2-Ethyl-5-Hydroxyhexyl) Phthalate (MEHHP), Promotes Uterine-Fibroid-Associated Phenotypes in Myometrial Stem Cell-Derived 3D Organoids.

This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells …

Epigenetic Mechanisms of Reproductive Dysfunction Induced by Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Evidence From Molecular Studies.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, organochlorine pesticides, and heavy metal ions, pose serious threats to reproductive health by interfering with hormonal balance and molecular signaling pathways. Recent …

Corrigendum to "Decreased expression of KLF6 in ectopic endometrial stromal cells contributes to endometriosis progression by targeting CTNNB1" [Cellular Signalling 120 (2024) 111230].

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 …

Endometriosis and expressions of self-management and resilience among Asian women living in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic: A photovoice study.

The COVID-19 pandemic posed unique challenges for Asian people living with endometriosis. The purpose of this study was to describe the endometriosis-related coping and self-management strategies used by South, East, …

Effect of Astragalus sinicus Ethanol Extract on Menopausal Symptoms in an Ovariectomized (OVX) Mouse Model.

As the aging population grows, the proportion of postmenopausal women is also increasing. Menopause can cause various symptoms and reduce quality of life. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a common …

Copper-Targeted Therapy in Experimental Endometriosis: Effects of Ammonium Tetrathiomolybdate on Markers of the Interconnected Processes of Inflammation, Innervation, and Fibrogenesis.

Endometriosis (EDT) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by inflammation, fibrosis, pelvic pain, and infertility. Current therapies show limited long-term efficacy and adverse effects, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic …

Mucin Biology as a Local Diagnostic and Promising Therapeutic Target in Endometriosis: Expression and Glycosylation Profiling.

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, yet its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the expression of …

Plasma extracellular vesicle modulate immune cell transcriptional responses following acute myocardial infarction.

Plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) increase during acute myocardial infarction (MI), correlate with myocardial injury, and mobilize immune cells from the spleen to the circulation. These cells are transcriptionally activated even …
