Endometriosis, a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder defined by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth, causes pelvic pain and infertility in reproductive-age women. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms driving lesion persistence and reproductive …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified susceptibility variants, their tissue-specific regulatory impact remains poorly …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) represents a rare and aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer with distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics. However, the identification, origin, and molecular features of the …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-driven gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, with significant physical, psychosocial, and socioeconomic impacts. Recent research suggests a possible involvement of the …
Autophagy is a highly conserved eukaryotic process that degrades cytoplasmic material within lysosomes, and plays a crucial role in cellular development, function and homeostasis. Recent studies have increasingly revealed the …
Organ functions generally decline with age, but the ovary is a prototypical organ that undergoes functional loss over time. Autophagy plays a crucial role in maintaining organ homeostasis, and age-related …
The endometrium, essential for reproduction, undergoes cyclical shedding, remodeling, and regeneration. Using a large endometrial transcriptomic dataset (n = 206), we identified RNA splicing and transcript isoform-level changes across the …
Lipedema is a chronic, estrogen-sensitive adipose tissue disorder characterized by disproportionate subcutaneous fat accumulation, fibrosis, inflammation, and resistance to fat mobilization. Despite its high prevalence, lipedema remains poorly understood and …
Ovarian cancer (OC) remains the most lethal gynecologic malignancy due to late diagnosis and limited effective biomarkers. Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) has emerged as an oncogene implicated in tumor progression, …
Recent studies emphasize the role of immune dysregulation and inflammation in endometriosis (ES). While hormonal therapy remains the primary treatment, emerging research is exploring synergistic approaches that target inflammation. In …
