Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder. Cholesterol (CHO) has been reported to be closely associated with estrogen synthesis and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the effects of cholesterol …
Thymol, a phenolic monoterpene derivative found in the essential oil of Thymus vulgaris L., Lamiaceae, is currently under investigation for potential applications in pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and cosmetics. Despite ongoing …
Increased activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in immune cells, including macrophages, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple chronic inflammatory diseases. Targeted depletion of macrophages has been explored as …
Endometriosis (ENDO) is a painful, chronic gynecological disease widely affecting women globally. While traditionally classified as a hormonal disorder, ENDO is now increasingly recognized as a multifaceted immune-mediated syndrome driven …
This study aims to identify angiogenesis-associated genes (AAGs) in endometriosis (EM) by integrating bioinformatics analysis with machine learning, and to investigate their underlying mechanisms. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened …
Macrophages in endometriosis: key roles and emerging therapeutic opportunities—a narrative review Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. It commonly presents with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility, imposing substantial physical, psychological, and social burdens. …
Endometriosis is a painful gynecological inflammatory disease affecting up to 10% of females. When released by sensory neurons, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) shapes immunity, a process known as neuroimmune communication. …
Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disorder marked by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, demonstrates malignant tumor-like properties including aggressive adhesion and invasiveness. Emerging evidence implicates roundabout guidance receptor 3 (ROBO3) in …
Studies have shown that the iron concentration in the peritoneal fluid of women is associated with the severity of endometriosis. Therefore, investigation of iron metabolism-related genes (IM-RGs) in endometriosis holds …
