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. …
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 …
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 …
Endometriosis is a disease associated with pain symptoms and reduced fertility, characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. SETD3 is an actin-specific histidine N-methyltransferase that regulates actin …
Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of mechanical properties in the ovarian microenvironment for ovarian function. However, the mechanisms that cause ovarian matrix stiffening during aging remain incompletely understood. …
Aspartame, a widely used artificial sweetener, has been implicated in multiple toxicities. However, its potential reproductive toxicity mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the underlying relationship between aspartame …
Tokishakuyakusan (TSS), a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine, is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. This study examined the effects of TSS on fecundity and endometriosis-like lesions during pregnancy in …
Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, is widely recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation-related genes (IRGs) play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of various …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Zinc Finger Protein 143 (ZNF143) is a DNA-binding transcription factor, yet …
Endometriosis is a steroid-dependent gynecologic disease characterized by progesterone (P4) resistance, subfertility/infertility, and pelvic pain; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying impaired P4 responsiveness in endometriosis tissue are not fully understood. …
