Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder defined by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. This is commonly associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and dysmenorrhea, which occurs in approximately 10% of wom…

Fatty acid-binding protein-4 (FABP4), commonly known as adipocyte-fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP), is a pleiotropic adipokine that broadly affects immunity and metabolism. It has been increasingly recognized that FABP4 dysfunction is as…

Endometriosis is a chronic disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. It affects 8%-10% of women in their reproductive years, and represents a major clinical problem with deleterious …

(-)-Epigallocatechin-gallate octaacetate (pro-EGCG), a prodrug of epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG), has been used for pre-clinical study for the treatment of endometriosis. A validated analytical method has been developed for the determinati…

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent condition that causes dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been used for endometriosis for many years in Asian populations. This is a retrospective study in a territo…

Endometriosis is defined as the development of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Pathophysiology of this disease includes abnormal hormone profiles, cell survival, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, oxidative stress,…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease with chronic pelvic inflammation. In order to study the pathophysiology of endometriosis and examine the therapeutic effects of new pharmaceuticals for endometriosis treatment, di…

Endometrioma (OMA) is the most common subtype of endometriosis, in which the endometriotic lesions are implanted in the ovary. Women with OMA are usually associated with infertility, presenting with reduced ovarian reserve, low oocyte quant…

Review question / Objective: Can patients with adenomyosis benefit from acupuncture treatments? Evaluation of current evidence with respect to the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for adenomyosis by conducting a systematic review and meta…

Endometriosis is defined as endometrial tissues found outside the uterine cavity. ProEGCG is a prodrug of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent polyphenol found in green tea. It inhibits the development of endometriotic lesions of mouse…

Endometriosis (EM) is defined as endometrial tissues found outside the uterus. Growth and development of endometriotic cells in ectopic sites can be promoted via multiple pathways, including MAPK/MEK/ERK, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, NF-κB, Rho/ROCK, rea…

Endometriosis is a common, benign, and hormone-dependent gynaecological disorder that displays altered immunoinflammatory profiles. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) suppressed immunosurveillance in endometriosis in human and mouse m…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Endometrial angiogenesis is a prerequisite for successful pregnancy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive physically optical imaging technique widely used in ophthalmology and cardiology. However, t…

BACKGROUND: Current medical treatments for endometriosis are very limited. Progestin and selective progesterone receptor modulators (SPRM) are developed but their efficacy, safety, mechanism and recurrence in endometriosis are not fully stu…

Endometriosis affects women of reproductive age via unclear immunological mechanism(s). Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous group of myeloid cells with potent immunosuppressive and angiogenic properties. Here, we fo…
