Mechanistic Insights into the Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Proliferative Effects of Selected Medicinal Plants in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis involves oestrogen-dependent chronic inflammation and the abnormal proliferation of ectopic endometrial tissue. Conventional hormonal therapies suppress systemic oestrogen, but do not fully address local oxidative and inflammatory signalling. This …

A Dual-Targeted Liposomal Nanosystem for Co-Delivery of Estrogen Receptor β Antagonist and Disulfiram for the Non-Hormonal Treatment of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease that severely affects the physical and mental health of women of childbearing age. Due to the significant side effects of traditional hormone therapies, non-hormonal treatment …

Dual Targeting of Orphan Nuclear Receptors NR4A1 and NR4A2 for Non-Hormonal Endometriosis Therapy.

Previous studies show that orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) regulated endometriotic cell growth, survival, estrogen receptor β (ERβ), mTOR signaling and fibrosis. NR4A2 is also expressed in epithelial and stromal …

Retraction Note: NLRC5 exerts anti-endometriosis effects through inhibiting ERβ-mediated inflammatory response.

Rethinking the Estrogen Receptor Beta Dominance Hypothesis in Endometriosis: Insights from Single Cell RNA Sequencing Meta-analysis.

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue growing outside the uterus. The molecular and clinical heterogeneity of endometriosis complicate diagnostic and treatment options -- …

Identification of Adeno-Associate Virus (AAV) Serotype for Endometriosis Therapy and Effect of AAV-Mediated RNAi Delivery on Gene Expression and Cell Proliferation in In Vitro Endometrial Cell Culture.

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent condition with limited treatment options, often requiring surgery and long-term hormonal therapy that may impair ovarian function. Despite advancements in gene therapy for other diseases, …

Polychlorinated biphenyl Endocrine Disruptor Alters Estrogen Receptor beta-Mediated Epigenetic Regulation, Promoting Endometriosis.

Background Endometriosis is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic proliferation of endometrial cells, resulting in chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been implicated in …

Menopause as a Critical Turning Point in Lipedema: The Estrogen Receptor Imbalance, Intracrine Estrogen, and Adipose Tissue Dysfunction Model.

Lipedema is a chronic, estrogen-sensitive adipose tissue disorder characterized by disproportionate subcutaneous fat accumulation, fibrosis, inflammation, and resistance to fat mobilization. Despite its high prevalence, lipedema remains poorly understood and …

Estradiol Promotes Endometriosis Progression Via the ERβ/QKI /circSMAD2 Axis.

The present study aimed to examine the roles of circRNA-circSMAD2 and its regulatory mechanisms in endometriosis (EMs).

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Coactivator-1-Alpha in Endometriosis: Expression, Regulation, and Potential Role.

The present study was designed to comprehensively analyze the expression profiles of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), estrogen-related receptor-α (ERRα), estrogen receptor-β (ERβ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), cysteinyl-aspartic acid-specific protease-3 (caspase-3), and …
