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 …
Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare condition characterized by histologically benign smooth muscle tumours arising at extrauterine sites, most commonly the lungs, in women with a history of uterine …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease. Although several studies have suggested a key role for estrogen receptor ERβ in EMS lesion development, its detection has been challenged by …
The anion exchanger 1 (AE1), traditionally known for its role in erythrocyte anion transport and acid-base homeostasis, has recently been identified in non-erythroid tissues, suggesting broader physiological functions. In the …
Subepithelial lesions (SELs) in the lower gastrointestinal tract are rare, and diagnosis and treatment of colorectal SELs are often challenging. Although endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) is useful for minimally …
Progesterone resistance in endometriosis reduces the efficacy of progestin. The non-classical progesterone receptor, progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) may regulate progesterone signaling in the normal endometrium, but its expression …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue, progressive fibrosis and chronic pain, with a pathogenesis that goes beyond oestrogen dependence. The central question this review seeks …
Endometriosis is sustained by ectopic endometrial implants that remain proliferative and vascularized, making endocrine modulation a cornerstone of therapy. Estetrol (E4) an endogenous estrogen produced during pregnancy, with selective tissue …
Lactoferrin (LF), a multifunctional glycoprotein of the transferrin family, exhibits anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease commonly treated with progesterone therapy; however, progesterone receptor (PGR) …
Endometriosis is a debilitating chronic inflammatory disorder driven by extensive molecular reprogramming. Despite significant bench research into its pathogenesis, translating these molecular discoveries into clinical practices that improve patient outcomes …
