Endometriosis-derived exosomal MicroRNA-125b-5p downregulates phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Protein Kinase B signaling pathways via vascular endothelial growth factor to decelerate endometriosis progression.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic enigmatic gynecological disorder which pathogenesis have not been fully elucidated. Exosomes have been proven to participate in endometriosis. However, the role of exosomes in the …

Epigenetic Mechanisms of Reproductive Dysfunction Induced by Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Evidence From Molecular Studies.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, organochlorine pesticides, and heavy metal ions, pose serious threats to reproductive health by interfering with hormonal balance and molecular signaling pathways. Recent …

Rethinking estrogen receptor β in EAOC: a synergistic modulator in a genomically informed landscape.

Therapeutic potential of epigallocatechin gallate in gynecologic cancer, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome: a mechanistic and translational perspective.

Tea, among the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, is rich in polyphenolic compounds known as catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This review aims to synthesize recent findings and ongoing controversies …

Evidence for KISS-1 nuclear translocation and PI3K/AKT signaling in the ultrastructurally and morphometrically analyzed human endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent disease marked by ectopic endometrial growth. Although the PI3K/AKT and kisspeptin pathways are known to regulate endometrial homeostasis, their interplay in disease progression remains unclear. …

SLC25A1-Mediated Cholesterol Accumulation Promotes Endometriosis Progression by Enhancing Endometrial Stromal Cell Proliferation, Invasion, and M2 Macrophage Polarization.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder. Cholesterol (CHO) has been reported to be closely associated with estrogen synthesis and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the effects of cholesterol …

Kisspeptins inhibit ectopic endometrial cell invasion and angiogenesis by suppressing PI3K/AKT signaling pathway via CREB5 in endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder. According to the most widely recognized theory of retrograde menstruation, endometrial cells require completion of three key steps during ectopic implantation: adhesion, invasion, …

Beyond VEGF and TGF-β: A Comprehensive Review of Growth Factor Pathways in the Pathophysiology of Uterine Leiomyomas.

Uterine leiomyomas or fibroids, are non-cancerous smooth muscle proliferations of the uterus, occurring mostly in women of reproductive age. Their pathogenesis involves complex growth factor interactions that regulate cellular proliferation, …

Molecular Regulation of FOXO1 and Its Pathophysiological Significance in Endometriosis: A Narrative Review.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and exhibits tumor-like characteristics such as invasion, recurrence, and hormone-dependent proliferation despite its benign nature. …

Endometriosis as an immune-mediated disease: pathogenetic mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.

Endometriosis, which affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age, is a complex inflammatory disease with significant immune system disturbances caused by an inadequate immune response to retrograde menstruation and …
