Patient-derived eutopic and ectopic endometrial stromal cells: characterization and development of immortalized lines.

Ovarian endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder in which endometrial stromal cells are key cellular contributors to hormone-immune crosstalk and lesion persistence. Here, we isolated paired eutopic (NESC) and ectopic …

ZNF143 Promotes Endometriotic Lesion Growth and Fibrosis through the Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Pathway.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Zinc Finger Protein 143 (ZNF143) is a DNA-binding transcription factor, yet …

Resection of Diffuse Leiomyomas Related to Morcellation: A Rare Case Report.

We report the case of a 42-year-old woman with a history of uterine fibroids treated with robotic myomectomy 12 years prior who presented with extensive uterine fibroids, perihepatic lesions, and …

Characterization of Isoorientin and Paeoniflorin as Botanical Glucocorticoid Receptor Modulators from White Peony and Chasteberry.

Botanical supplements are increasingly investigated for their potential to address women's health concerns. Compounds that modulate progesterone receptor (PR) signaling may help manage gynecologic disorders such as endometriosis, uterine hyperplasia, …

Microbiome in women with endometriosis and the in vitro effects of Lactobacillus reuteri on human endometrium.

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting ~10% of reproductive-age women, with increasing evidence implicating the microbiome in its pathogenesis through immunomodulation and estrogen metabolism. This study investigated microbiome …

Eutopic echoes ectopic: organoid-based evidence of shared hormone dysregulation in endometriosis.

A Customizable Tyramide Signal Amplification-Based Multiplex Immunofluorescence Protocol for FFPE Tissues.

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues represent an invaluable resource for both basic and clinical research due to their stable preservation of tissue architecture and molecular integrity. Multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) using tyramide …

Malignant Transformation of Endometriosis: A Rare Case of Extrauterine Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is an extremely uncommon uterine malignancy, and commonly arises from preexisting endometriosis. On rare occasions, ESS arises from extrauterine tissues and is known as extra-uterine ESS. …

Diaphragmatic endometriosis with hepatic herniation: case report and review of literature.

Diaphragmatic endometriosis is a rare and often underrecognized manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis that may lead to severe complications such as diaphragmatic rupture or herniation. We report the case of a …

Evaluating Subtypes of Endometriosis in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) Using Clinical Findings and Immunohistochemistry.

Endometriosis is defined as endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. It is a debilitating, complex, and underdiagnosed condition, impacting approximately 10%-15% of reproductive-aged women worldwide. Endometriosis is associated with chronic …
