Dose-Dependent Reprogramming of Chromatin Accessibility by SOX4 Drives the Transcriptional Response to Iron Overload.

Iron overload induces cellular stress and is implicated in diverse pathological conditions. Nevertheless, the epigenetic mechanisms governing mammalian cellular responses to iron overload remain poorly characterized. Using multi-omics profiling in …

Microbiome in women with endometriosis and the in vitro effects of Lactobacillus reuteri on human endometrium.

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting ~10% of reproductive-age women, with increasing evidence implicating the microbiome in its pathogenesis through immunomodulation and estrogen metabolism. This study investigated microbiome …

Electroacupuncture ameliorates Endometriosis-Associated ovarian dysfunction by activating Nrf2 pathway to upregulate GPX4 function and inhibiting ferroptosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common cause of ovarian dysfunction and infertility, closely linked to iron overload-induced oxidative stress and ferroptosis. While electroacupuncture (EA) has shown promise in treating reproductive disorders, …

Microbiota-metabolite axis in endometriosis: Pathogenic mechanisms and clinical implications.

Growing evidence highlights the role of microbiota, including those of the gut, reproductive tract, and endometrial tissue, as critical functional drivers in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM). Studies have revealed …

Pelargonium graveolens Essential Oil Suppresses Proliferation and Migration and Modulates Mesenchymal-Associated Cellular Functions in Human Endometriotic Cells.

Endometriosis is characterized by enhanced cellular proliferation, migration, and resistance to apoptosis, contributing to lesion persistence and progression. Targeting cellular plasticity and mesenchymal-associated functions may therefore represent a promising therapeutic …

Oocyte aging in focus: Environmental and endogenous stressors driving reproductive potential decline.

Oocyte quality, a critical determinant of female reproductive potential, experiences a progressive decline with age, largely driven by the cumulative effects of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This review thoroughly …

A preliminary single-cell map of endometriosis suggests roles for fibroblast metabolism and macrophage polarization in disease progression.

Probiotic supplementation improves quality of life and modulates oestradiol in women with endometriosis: a randomised double-blind pilot trial.

Endometriosis is a chronic, oestrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting up to 10% of reproductive-age women, associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Emerging evidence implicates the vaginal microbiome …

Physical Activity, Metabolic Dysfunction, and the Kynurenine Pathway in Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Literature Review.

Endometriosis and PCOS are both leading causes of female infertility, each affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide. Both conditions markedly impair quality of life by affecting physical health, emotional …

Dose-Response And Threshold Effects of a C-reactive Protein-Triglyceride-Glucose Composite Index and Endometriosis Risk: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, yet diagnosis is often delayed because symptoms are non-specific and definitive confirmation typically relies on invasive procedures. Composite indices …
