Endometriosis (EM) and chronic endometritis (CE) are both implicated in female infertility, yet the relationship between them remains incompletely understood. In this narrative review, we synthesize non-systematically selected clinical and …

Endosalpingiosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic, benign glands with a fallopian tube-like ciliated epithelium. Florid cystic endosalpingiosis (FCE) is a rare type of endosalpingiosis and presents with tumor-like lesions. In gen…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent disease with an unclear aetiology and pathogenesis affecting 6-10% of the global female population, predominantly those of reproductive age. Herein, we profile the transcriptomes of approx…

Aims: Protein tyrosine phosphatase Src-homology-2-domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) and adaptor protein Grb2-associated binding protein 2 (GAB2) can bind to each other in various signal transduction. However, the expression of SHP2 and…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role(s) of hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) and hyaluronan in disease progression of endometriosis and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced motility changes of endometriotic cells. DESIGN: A case-control experime…

CONTEXT; Deep dyspareunia (pelvic pain with sexual intercourse) affects half of women with endometriosis, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptor (TrkA/p75NTR) …

Endometriosis is present in 1 in 10 reproductive-age women, and half experience deep dyspareunia (pelvic pain with sexual intercourse). Our objective was to investigate nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors (TrkA/p75NTR) in endometrio…

STUDY QUESTION: Is phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3) associated with increased motility of endometriotic cells from endometrioma? SUMMARY ANSWER: Elevated PRL-3 promotes cytoskeleton reorganization, cell migration and invasion of …

Estradiol and its nuclear receptors, estrogen receptor (ER) α and ER-β, have important functions in endometriosis, and the transcriptional activity of these receptors is modulated by coactivators and corepressors. The steroid receptor RNA a…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of exogenous suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) in Janus Kinase/Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathways and examine the relationship between exogenous SOCS…

The modulating attributes of steroid receptor RNA activator protein (SRAP) on steroid receptors have been shown in some types of tumor cells. There is compelling evidence to suggest that this molecule may play a critical role in the develop…
