Endometriosis, affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age, is more commonly found on the left side of the pelvis. This laterality phenomenon's etiology remains obscure. We reviewed the existing literature …
Determining the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains a major challenge in contemporary gynecology, and the investigation of alterations in cellular immunity may provide important insights into this issue. A comprehensive search …
There is a higher density of immune cells in peritoneal fluid than is found in blood. Thus, any perturbations, from sterile injury to endometriosis to ovarian cancer, require immune cells …
This Correspondence is a formal response to the Comment by Dr. Machado regarding our publication "Creatine Promotes Endometriosis by Inducing Ferroptosis Resistance via Suppression of PrP." We address several conceptual …
Endometriosis is associated with chronic pelvic pain, largely due to immune dysregulation within the peritoneal cavity. The activation status of peritoneal immune cells is not well understood, and comparisons with …
The research by Chen et al. (2024) presents an innovative hypothesis linking creatine metabolism to ferroptosis resistance in endometriotic stromal cells via PrP suppression. While conceptually valuable, methodological aspects warrant …
Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign cystic lesions that most commonly occur in women with a history of prior abdominal surgery, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. They arise from the …
Apoptosis plays a paramount role in endometriosis pathogenesis. This process may be disrupted in endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) of women with endometriosis, causing them to continue developing in ectopic locations. …
Endometriosis is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, yet the cellular basis for this relationship remains unclear. We examined whether peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis alters cardiomyocyte …
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare form of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax occurring synchronously with menstruation and represents the most common manifestation of thoracic endometriosis. CP predominantly involves the right hemithorax …
