This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells …
Advances in cancer therapy, delayed parenthood, and an increasing number of reproductive disorders have intensified the need for the effective preservation of fertility. However, current clinical strategies such as ovarian …
Endometriosis is a complex condition affecting 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide, yet its study has long been hindered by the shortcomings of traditional research models. This review aims to propose …
Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems provide physiologically relevant models that better replicate in vivo cell architecture and function compared to the conventional two-dimensional cultures. In reproductive biology, 3D models of endometrial …
Adult endometrial glands undergo cyclic regeneration and development during the menstrual cycle. Their secretions are vital for endometrial functions and early pregnancy, yet the mechanisms controlling gland development are not …
Endometrial Organoids Open a Window into the Womb the-scientist.com
Peritoneal endometriosis causes pelvic pain and infertility, but the underlying mechanisms related to these symptoms are not fully understood. Endometriosis diagnosis is typically delayed; thus, patient samples are unsuitable to …
Endometriosis is a chronic, heterogeneous disease with limited non-hormonal treatment options. Drug repurposing provides an accelerated route to identify safe, tolerable, and potentially effective therapies for endometriosis. Receptor tyrosine kinase-like …
Can patient-derived organoid models be reliably established from diverse surgical phenotypes of endometriosis, and how do clinical factors such as hormonal treatment affect their growth success and morphology?
Endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinoma (EAOC) predominantly arises from the malignant transformation of endometriomas, yet the mechanism is incompletely defined. Spatial transcriptomic analysis of human specimens of normal endometrium, endometriomas, and EAOC …
