In 2024, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) published a report entitled Advancing Research on Chronic Conditions in Women. A major purpose of this report was to …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting ~ 10% of reproductive-age women, often causing pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its prevalence, diagnosis remains delayed due to non-specific symptoms and lack …
The human endometrium is a complex, dynamic and poorly understood tissue involving monthly cyclical regeneration likely from adult stem/progenitor cells. This regeneration is associated with reproductive pathologies, such as endometriosis …
Over the last few decades, genomics has become integral to understanding disease pathophysiology, improving diagnostics, and refining treatment strategies. Endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and adenomyosis are highly prevalent benign gynecologic disorders …
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a category of small (18-25 nucleotides) non-coding transcripts that modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, are necessary for regulatory processes in female reproduction, specifically in ovarian function …
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging hybrid biomedical imaging modality that combines the high molecular contrast of optical excitation with the deep tissue penetration of ultrasound detection. This review presents …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life, and is frequently associated with prolonged diagnostic delay and variable treatment response. Although advances …
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 …
Endometriosis affects a large number of women of reproductive age, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. It causes severe chronic pelvic pain, which is often misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, …
Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in endometriosis (Endo) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aimed to explore gut microbial signatures in women with …
