Uterine pain associated with labor, dysmenorrhea, or endometriosis is often driven by inflammation, which enhances nociceptive signaling and contributes to hyperalgesia. Although nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and glucocorticoids are commonly …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory, hormone dependent disorder that affects more than 200 million women worldwide. Immune dysfunction has emerged as one of the predominant mechanisms facilitating endometriosis lesion growth …
Female reproductive disorders represent a major global health challenge. Despite their clinical heterogeneity, these conditions share core pathological mechanisms including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, extracellular matrix …
Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a distinct form of epithelial ovarian cancer that arises from the malignant transformation of benign endometriotic lesions. While epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is acknowledged as a …
We aimed to generate immortalized stromal cell lines from the ovarian and fallopian tube tissues of a single patient using Sendai virus (SeV) vectors and identify candidate stromal genes involved …
Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial glands and stroma grow within the uterine myometrium. As a clinically significant disease, adenomyosis causes substantial pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. It remains understudied due …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with poorly understood mechanisms. Inflammatory proteins are hypothesized to play a causal role, but evidence remains limited. We performed a 2-sample Mendelian randomization study …
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 a chronic inflammatory condition requiring surgical or imaging visualization for definitive diagnosis. How endometriotic lesion characteristics relate to circulating inflammatory markers remains unclear. We evaluated 11 inflammatory biomarkers, …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition that affects fertility in many women of reproductive age worldwide. This multifaceted disease exhibits a pathogenesis characterized by hormonal and immune system dysregulations, alongside …
