Women's reproductive and endocrine disorders including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, thyroid disorders, infertility, and pregnancy-related complications remain a major global health burden. These conditions are especially difficult to manage …
To demonstrate the presence of peritoneal fluid (PF)-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in endometriosis and control samples, to characterise their protein content and to define endometriosis-specific biomarkers within the sEV …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic endometrial-like glands and stroma, persistent pelvic inflammation, pain, infertility, and frequent recurrence. The limited availability of nonhormonal and lesion-directed therapies …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting 10% of reproductive-age women. Current treatments remain limited and non-curative. While its biology is largely informed by human biospecimens, sample heterogeneity and methodological …
Objectives. The aim of the study was to develop a diagnostic method for estrogen hypersensitivity syndrome in proliferative benign diseases of the female reproductive system. Using the example of endometriosis, …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that, despite its benign histology, displays several cancer-relevant features, including clonal expansion, somatic alteration-associated lesion evolution, tissue invasion, apoptosis resistance, immune evasion, angiogenesis, …
Endometriosis is associated with immune dysregulation yet circulating cytokine measurements have shown limited discriminatory value. We investigated whether peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from women with endometriosis exhibit altered basal …
To determine whether anogenital distance (AGD), a potential non-invasive biomarker reflecting prenatal androgen exposure, differs between adolescents with laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis and matched controls.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is essential for neuronal survival and development, and is also involved in oogenesis, follicle recruitment, and germ cell survival, which could impact reproduction. However, in humans, …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory, estrogen‑dependent benign gynecological disorder. A subset of patients with EM may subsequently develop endometriosis‑associated ovarian cancer (EAOC), implying a biological continuum between these two …
