Decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) precedes the successful implantation of a human embryo. Improper decidualization has been reported in numerous conditions associated with infertility including endometriosis. Multiple pathways, …
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by fibrosis and adhesions. There are still no treatment methods targeting these conditions. One reason for this is the lack of useful animal models to …
Transmembrane protein TMEM119 has been implicated in tumor progression (e.g., ovarian cancer), but its role and underlying mechanism in ovarian endometriosis (EM) remain elusive. Thus, this study aimed to investigate …
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by pain and infertility, remains a clinical challenge. Current hormonal and surgical treatments are often limited by side effects and high recurrence rates. In …
Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and progesterone receptor (PGR) are essential regulators for endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation. Their expression is dysregulated in women with endometriosis-associated infertility. However, the relationship between …
Endometriosis is a complex gynecological condition characterized by endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus. In many in vitro studies, almost all progestins have indicated the anti-proliferation and apoptosis of endometriotic …
A woman in her seventies presented with mucous hematochezia. Colonoscopy revealed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in the upper rectum. Immunohistochemical staining showed CK7 positivity and CK20/CDX2 negativity, findings atypical for …
Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition …
