Targeting the Wnt signaling network in endometriosis: mechanistic insights and translational opportunities.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder defined by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, driven by estrogen-dependent inflammation and progressive fibrosis. According to available data, remodeling and persistent …

Exploring the Genetic Influence of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Non-Receptor Type 22 (PTPN22) on Inflammatory Biomarkers in Endometriosis Progression.

Investigating the genetic influence of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Non-Receptor Type 22 (PTPN22) on key inflammatory biomarkers-Interleukin-1β, Interleukin-6, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and to evaluate their association with disease progression …

Metabolic reprogramming in endometriosis: mechanisms and therapeutic prospects.

Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder for which metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a central pathological feature. Driven by genetic, epigenetic, and microenvironmental stressors, ectopic endometrial cells undergo …

Multi-ancestry genome-wide association and integrated multi-omics analyses of endometriosis and its clinical manifestations.

Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease affecting ~10% of women, yet its genetic basis and molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Hence, here we conducted a genome-wide association study of endometriosis …

Endocrine roles of vitamin D in female reproduction: Mechanisms and clinical implications.

Vitamin D a fat-soluble steroid hormone signals through Vitamin D Receptors (VDRs) located throughout the ovaries, uterus, placenta, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland, influencing immune regulation and female reproductive physiology. This …

Microbiota-metabolite axis in endometriosis: Pathogenic mechanisms and clinical implications.

Growing evidence highlights the role of microbiota, including those of the gut, reproductive tract, and endometrial tissue, as critical functional drivers in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM). Studies have revealed …

Empowering women's health with miRNA-integrated nanochemical approaches: from reproductive health to cancer care.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a category of small (18-25 nucleotides) non-coding transcripts that modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, are necessary for regulatory processes in female reproduction, specifically in ovarian function …

Integrated single-cell and spatial transcriptomics reveal divergent immunological and stromal programs in peritoneal versus ovarian endometriosis.

Macrophage membrane-biomimetic nanovehicles delivering amygdalin halt pyroptosis propagation and alleviate endometriosis-associated neuropathic pain.

The clinical management of endometriosis encounters a significant obstacle: existing therapies inadequately address both the inhibition of ectopic lesion proliferation and the mitigation of the neuroinflammation associated with chronic pain. …
