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 …

Molecular signature of human endometrial stem/progenitor cells at the single-cell level.

Human endometrium sheds and regenerates each month during the menstrual cycle. N-cadherin+ (CDH2) glandular epithelial progenitors and SUSD2+ mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their niches have been identified, but their …

Circulating Transfer RNA Related Fragment Abundance After Experimental Endometriosis Induction in Baboons.

Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease affecting approximately 10-15% of women of reproductive age, often resulting in chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its high prevalence, diagnosis is frequently delayed. …

Integrative single-cell analysis reveals Bu-Shen-Huo-Xue Formula rescues iron-overloaded ovarian function via rewiring IFN-γ/JAK/STAT/CXCL10-driven immune-stromal interactions and BNIP3-mediated mitophagy in endometriosis.

Ovarian endometriosis (OE) is a leading cause of female infertility. Our previous work identified iron overload-driven oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in granulosa cells as key pathogenic features, yet the …

Single-cell profiling and machine learning identify cuproptosis-related fibroblast subpopulations and fibrogenesis modulator AEBP1 in endometriosis.

Endometriosis is characterized by progressive fibrosis and limited therapeutic options. Cuproptosis, a copper-dependent form of regulated cell death, has been implicated in multiple pathological conditions, but its relevance to fibroblast-mediated …

Nuclear factor IX promotes endometriosis progression through transcriptional activation of tetraspanin-2.

Endometriosis is a benign yet aggressive disease characterized by enhanced proliferation and invasion of ectopic endometrial tissue. Identifying upstream regulators that co-regulate these processes will provide novel insights into endometriosis …

Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization and Single‑Cell RNA Sequencing Reveal an NK Cell-Mediated Causal Link Between Endometriosis and Endometrial Cancer.

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that shares epidemiological and pathological features with endometrial cancer. However, the cellular and genetic mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear.

Single-Cell Transcriptomic Profiling and Machine Learning Integration Unveil Stromal Cell Heterogeneity in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide, yet its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Abnormal cell differentiation and somatic mutations in the ectopic endometrial microenvironment play critical roles in …

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

Curcumin modulates the function of SPP1+ macrophages via NF-κB signaling to alleviate endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder with prominent cellular heterogeneity, and its key pathogenic cell subsets and core molecular mechanisms remain elusive, which restricts the development of effective therapeutic strategies. …
