LY01021 is a novel oral small-molecule gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist intended for the treatment of various sex hormone-dependent disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), …
Gynecologic disorders, including infections, sterile inflammatory diseases, endocrine abnormalities, and malignancies, share a common signature of dysregulated immunity within a uniquely hormone-responsive reproductive tract. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are increasingly …
Estrogen is a critical regulator of endometrial health. Aberrant estrogen stimulation can result in infertility, endometrial cancer, and endometriosis. Here, we identified Zinc Finger MIZ-Type Containing 1 (Zmiz1) as a …
Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, in the pathophysiology of which sex hormones (androgens, estrogens, etc.) are involved. The level of bioactive androgens/estrogens (in the free state) in the organism largely …
The female reproductive system (FRS) exhibits unique immunological characteristics, balancing defense against pathogens with tolerance to sperm and semi-allogeneic embryos. Key players include decidual natural killer (dNK) cells, immune checkpoint …
To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Tripterygium wilfordii glycosides on endometriosis (EMs) and their effects on serum sex hormone levels, tumour markers, and inflammatory factors (serum CA125, CA199, Estradiol, FSH, …
