Both genetic and environmental factors affect human stature, including overall height and familial short stature (FSS), and it is associated with various health outcomes. However, the study of genetic connections …
This study aims to explore the application value of stromal cell-derived factor (CXCL12), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in the diagnosis, staging, and clinical manifestations …
We explore bladder sensitivity profiles in females with chronic pelvic pain, using a non-invasive bladder sensitivity paradigm. We aim to determine how profiles differ between groups defined by symptoms; groups …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease with multifactorial pathogenesis. Increasing evidence suggests that alterations in the gut and reproductive tract microbiota may contribute to disease development, …
The specific gut microbial signatures and their correlation with immune-inflammatory markers in infertile women with endometriosis remain underexplored.To investigate the differences in gut microbiota and their associations with biochemical immune …
To explore the genetic associations between 91 types of blood cells (BCs) and endometriosis (EMs), providing references for the treatment of EMs. Forward Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted with …
Pain is a common debilitating symptom reported in people with endometriosis. Yet, we do not have a good understanding of factors that may contribute to higher pain and worse psychosocial …
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to investigate molecular differences among peritoneal, ovarian, bowel endometriosis phenotypes and control tissues. Peritoneal lesions showed the most pronounced spectral changes in CH-stretching (2800-3000 …
Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It affects ~10% of reproductive-aged individuals and is associated with dysmenorrhea and infertility. Although …
Global fertility rates continue to decline despite advancements in assisted reproductive technologies, highlighting a significant gap in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying preconception physiology. In this commentary, we review …
