Neuroimmune fitness in endometriosis: decoding the adaptive neural circuits that sustain lesion persistence, fibrosis, and chronic pain.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by substantial heterogeneity in pain, lesion behavior, and treatment response. Although hormonal and surgical therapies can reduce disease activity and symptoms, their effects …

The Endocannabinoid System in Endometriosis-Associated Pain: Mechanisms, Molecular Targets, and Therapeutic Implications.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue and severe pain, including dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dysuria, …

Editorial: The uterus immune microenvironment features in physiological and pathological conditions.

2-Deoxyglucose Dendrimer-Enabled Niclosamide Delivery to FRβ-Expressing Macrophages Alleviates Endometriosis Progression and Associated Hyperalgesia.

Endometriosis (EuE) is a chronic, incurable disease. Due to limited efficacy, high recurrence rates, and serious side effects of current treatments, development of new, targeted, nonhormonal therapies is urgently needed. …

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Shows Markedly Elevated Immune Cell Proportions in the Endometrium of Women with Endometriosis-A Narrative Review.

Single-cell RNA sequencing is a state-of-the-art approach to decipher the heterogeneity of RNA transcripts in individual cells and identify different cell types in tissues and organs. Its aim is to …

The Role of Macrophages in Endometrial Cyclical Changes and Female Reproductive System Diseases: A Review.

Background: This review aims to systematically summarize the lineage origins, subtype classification, and functional dynamics of endometrial macrophages, clarify their mechanisms of action in normal reproductive physiology (menstrual cycle, pregnancy) …

Stage-dependent shifts in peritoneal cytokine profiles drive monocyte functional reprogramming in endometriosis.

Introduction. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which monocytes/macrophages play a key pathogenetic role. The peritoneal fluid (PF) cytokine profile can modulate recruited monocyte functions, determining their contribution to …

Integrated lipidomics and transcriptomics reveal the key role of ceramides in the development of endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic gynecological disease with poorly understood pathogenesis. This study integrated lipidomics and transcriptomics to systematically investigate aberrant sphingolipid metabolism in EMs, aiming to identify pathogenic mechanisms …

Do Oxidative Stress-Modified Exosomes Contribute to Infertility in Endometriosis?

Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with infertility in up to half of those diagnosed. Despite decades of research, the molecular basis of its …

TREM2 Deficiency Attenuates Endometriosis Progression by Inhibiting M2 Polarization of SpMs and Suppressing SIRPα to Enhance Phagocytosis.

Endometriosis (EMS) is characterised by a disrupted peritoneal immune microenvironment where M2 macrophage polarization and impaired phagocytosis promote lesion survival. Single-cell RNA-seq (ScRNAseq) of the peritoneal macrophages from EMS patient …
