Transvaginal strain elastography (SE) has emerged as a complementary technique to transvaginal ultrasound for deep endometriosis (DE) evaluation by exploiting tissue stiffness between lesions and surrounding structures. However, its clinical …
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous gynecological disorder for which experimental model development is often limited by diagnostic ambiguity and the restricted lifespan of primary epithelial cultures. Although immortalization strategies enable long-term …
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 …
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 …
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, …
Ovarian cancer remains one of the deadliest gynecologic malignancies because of late-stage diagnosis, biological heterogeneity, and the lack of effective early detection strategies. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) comprises several histotypes, …
Epithelial ovarian cancer is not a single disease but a group of biologically distinct malignancies that include serous (high-grade and low-grade), endometrioid, clear cell, and mucinous carcinomas, along with other …
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 exhibits tissue- and cell-compartment heterogeneity in inflammatory and metabolic activity. We evaluated compartment-specific remodeling in primary endometriosis tissues and used TCGA-UCEC as an independent cancer comparison.
Endometriosis is a multifaceted disease, causing debilitating pelvic pain in some patients, while being completely asymptomatic in others. The pathophysiology of endometriosis pain is not well understood and poorly correlated …
