Background: The individual and social burden of endometriosis is high, and the diagnosis is usually delayed by 7-10 years. Menstrual effluent (ME) represents an accessible and uniquely informative biofluid. This …
Background: Endometriosis is associated with infertility and impaired assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, potentially due to an altered follicular microenvironment characterized by chronic inflammation. This study investigates the systemic and …
Endometriosis (EDT) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by inflammation, fibrosis, pelvic pain, and infertility. Current therapies show limited long-term efficacy and adverse effects, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic …
Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition …
This systematic review aimed to summarize the effects of astaxanthin (ASX) supplementation on oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic regulation in human studies. A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, Web …
Inadequate angiogenesis of endometriotic implants stimulated by the inflammatory microenvironment in the uterine region leads to the development of gynecological diseases, which significantly reduce the fertility and vitality of young …
This study advances sustainable pharmaceutical research for endometriosis by developing in vitro 3D cell culture models of endometriotic pathophysiology that allow antifibrotic drug candidates to be tested. Fibrosis is a …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The current hormonal treatments are unsuitable for women who wish to conceive, highlighting the need for non-hormonal …
Endometriosis patients exhibit a cancer-like glycolytic phenotype. The pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) axis plays important roles in glycolysis-related diseases, but its role in patients with endometrial polyps …
Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, is a condition associated with pain and infertility. In this issue of the JCI, Lv et al. illuminate the …
