Increased activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in immune cells, including macrophages, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple chronic inflammatory diseases. Targeted depletion of macrophages has been explored as …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease that severely affects the physical and mental health of women of childbearing age. Due to the significant side effects of traditional hormone therapies, non-hormonal treatment …
The NOD-like receptor family containing pyridine domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome serves as a pivotal mediator of innate immune responses and a central driver of inflammatory processes. Upon detection of pathogenic …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with ectopic endometrial tissues arising in extrauterine areas. We investigated the mechanism of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)/P2X4 regulating inflammation and oxidative stress in EMS.
Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) has been confirmed to suppress inflammation in endometriosis (EMs). Herein, this study investigated whether and how TMP affected NLRP3 inflammasomes and oxidative stress in EMs. After establishment of …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent gynecological disease that leads to chronic pelvic pain and infertility in women of reproductive age. However, the underlying pathogenic genes and effective treatment for EMS …
The mainstay of treatment for endometriosis is hormonal therapy, which suppresses ovulation; therefore, patients cannot conceive during treatment. There is a dilemma with ovarian-sparing surgery, known as laparoscopic cystectomy, as …
This research was conducted at Bukovinian State Medical University and the Centre of Reproductive Medicine and included a total of 30 infertile women. The control group consisted of 10 women …
Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disorder characterized by the abnormal presence of endometrium-like cells, referred to as ectopic tissue, located outside the uterine cavity. Beyond the abnormal proliferation of endometrium-like …
Pyroptosis is an inflammatory cell death induced by inflammasomes that release several pro-inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-18 (IL-18) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Pyroptosis, a type of programmed cell death, has recently …
