Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, yet its precise pathogenesis remains incompletely elucidated. TICAM1, a key adaptor protein …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age and is a major cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility, yet current therapies often fail to provide lasting relief. Mitochondrial …
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) has emerged as a highly promising therapeutic target due to its critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis. To date, a variety …
Uterine pain associated with labor, dysmenorrhea, or endometriosis is often driven by inflammation, which enhances nociceptive signaling and contributes to hyperalgesia. Although nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and glucocorticoids are commonly …
Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a calcium-dependent protein with high affinity for phospholipids, and its multifunctional nature has drawn increasing attention in the onset and progression of various disorders of the …
Endometriosis is a benign yet invasive disease characterized by ectopic endometrial growth and immune remodeling. While emerging evidence implicates cellular senescence in disease progression, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. …
Decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) precedes the successful implantation of a human embryo. Improper decidualization has been reported in numerous conditions associated with infertility including endometriosis. Multiple pathways, …
Transmembrane protein TMEM119 has been implicated in tumor progression (e.g., ovarian cancer), but its role and underlying mechanism in ovarian endometriosis (EM) remain elusive. Thus, this study aimed to investigate …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory condition that affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women and is frequently associated with infertility and pelvic pain. Unlike many estrogen-dependent disorders, epidemiologic studies have …
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 …
