Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in which lipid metabolic dysregulation has been increasingly implicated. However, the specific metabolic changes in ectopic lesions and stromal cells remain poorly understood. It …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-driven, inflammatory disorder affecting ~10% of menstruators, causing severe pain. Current treatments that reduce estrogen or inflammation have inconsistent efficacy and poor tolerability. Therapies identified via drug-repositioning …
Female fertility has long been explained through observation of the ovarian follicle: the number of residing follicles and the quality of the oocyte. This review argues that the tissue surrounding …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic endometrial-like glands and stroma, persistent pelvic inflammation, pain, infertility, and frequent recurrence. The limited availability of nonhormonal and lesion-directed therapies …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by substantial heterogeneity in pain, lesion behavior, and treatment response. Although hormonal and surgical therapies can reduce disease activity and symptoms, their effects …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that, despite its benign histology, displays several cancer-relevant features, including clonal expansion, somatic alteration-associated lesion evolution, tissue invasion, apoptosis resistance, immune evasion, angiogenesis, …
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is expressed in the fibroinflammatory stroma of endometriosis, but its relationship to conventional imaging visibility is unknown. We evaluated FAP expression in deep endometriosis (DE) and …
Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effects of phloroglucinol on eutopic stromal cells and ectopic stromal cells from endometriosis and its molecular mechanism. Methods: The effect of phloroglucinol on the survival …
In this narrative review, we summarize current evidence regarding the endometrium undergoes cyclic remodeling driven by estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4) signaling, with precise coordination essential for receptivity and pregnancy …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory condition that is marked by the growth of lesions outside the uterus, along with angiogenesis, fibrosis, immune dysregulation, and pain sensitization. There is now …
