Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis; however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. …
Determining the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains a major challenge in contemporary gynecology, and the investigation of alterations in cellular immunity may provide important insights into this issue. A comprehensive search …
Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) is a well-established stem cell marker in multiple epithelial tissues. However, its spatial distribution and biological relevance in normal and pathological human endometrium remain …
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by chronic pelvic inflammation, but the etiology of this inflammation remains poorly understood. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), whereby senescent cells secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, is a …
Endometriosis is a common, chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside of the uterus that can impact fertility through multiple mechanisms. In this review, the diagnosis, …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation of endometrial-like tissue. Although retrograde menstruation is highly prevalent, only a subset of women develops the disease. This …
Endometriosis is a chronic, heterogenous disorder in which cyclical hemorrhage and repetitive repair generate ectopic implants that persist, recur, and drive pain and infertility; conventional frameworks emphasizing hormonal aberration and …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease. Although several studies have suggested a key role for estrogen receptor ERβ in EMS lesion development, its detection has been challenged by …
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are common gynecologic disorders associated with dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. Although they share several molecular features, the mechanisms by which endometrium-derived tissues develop distinct pathological …
Progesterone resistance in endometriosis reduces the efficacy of progestin. The non-classical progesterone receptor, progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) may regulate progesterone signaling in the normal endometrium, but its expression …
