Ovarian fibrosis as a common mechanism of infertility.

Female fertility has long been explained through observation of the ovarian follicle: the number of residing follicles and the quality of the oocyte. This review argues that the tissue surrounding …

Neuroimmune fitness in endometriosis: decoding the adaptive neural circuits that sustain lesion persistence, fibrosis, and chronic pain.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by substantial heterogeneity in pain, lesion behavior, and treatment response. Although hormonal and surgical therapies can reduce disease activity and symptoms, their effects …

The Endocannabinoid System in Endometriosis-Associated Pain: Mechanisms, Molecular Targets, and Therapeutic Implications.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue and severe pain, including dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dysuria, …

Editorial: The uterus immune microenvironment features in physiological and pathological conditions.

Shared genetic architecture and cellular convergence between female reproductive disorders and pulmonary function: a genome-wide cross-trait analysis.

Female reproductive disorders (FRDs), including polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, uterine leiomyomata, and infertility, have been epidemiologically associated with impaired pulmonary function. However, it remains unclear whether this cross-organ link reflects …

Consumer-driven approach to determining health research priorities: what matters most to people living in rural Australia?

Rural, regional and remote (henceforth 'rural') communities face unique health challenges, including limited access to health care, workforce shortages, and higher disease burden. Consumer and community involvement is essential for …

2-Deoxyglucose Dendrimer-Enabled Niclosamide Delivery to FRβ-Expressing Macrophages Alleviates Endometriosis Progression and Associated Hyperalgesia.

Endometriosis (EuE) is a chronic, incurable disease. Due to limited efficacy, high recurrence rates, and serious side effects of current treatments, development of new, targeted, nonhormonal therapies is urgently needed. …

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Shows Markedly Elevated Immune Cell Proportions in the Endometrium of Women with Endometriosis-A Narrative Review.

Single-cell RNA sequencing is a state-of-the-art approach to decipher the heterogeneity of RNA transcripts in individual cells and identify different cell types in tissues and organs. Its aim is to …

Phenotypic Analysis of Human and Murine Endometrial Organoids using a Machine Learning Approach.

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 …

The Role of Macrophages in Endometrial Cyclical Changes and Female Reproductive System Diseases: A Review.

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) …
