Commonly diagnosed in reproductive-age women, endometriosis is causally linked to subfertility, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain. Although theories exist on the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis, our understanding of its cellular and …
Endometrial organoids are a powerful, 3D in vitro system for studying reproductive function and disease since they are more physiologically representative than 2D cell models. However, optimal methods for the …
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. …
The uterus is an essential organ for fetal development in most mammals. Uterine glands, highly conserved structures in the mammalian uterus, play critical roles in the establishment and maintenance of …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis manifests as ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. This lesion can sometimes appear at unusual anatomical sites or within the intestinal tract, growing and mimicking cancer. Such …
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 …
Human endometrium sheds and regenerates each month during the menstrual cycle. N-cadherin+ (CDH2) glandular epithelial progenitors and SUSD2+ mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their niches have been identified, but their …
Ovarian carcinosarcoma typically comprises high-grade carcinoma and sarcoma components. We report a case of a woman in her 40s with endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinosarcoma exhibiting an unusual presentation of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma …
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 …
The Colony-Stimulating Factor 3 Receptor (CSF3R), the receptor for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), has expanded from a hematopoietic regulator to a multifunctional signalling molecule with significant relevance in gynaecological biology. …
