RESEARCH QUESTION: Is LINC01638 involved in regulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in endometriosis? DESIGN: A prospective patient cohort study was combined with functional experiments in the 12Z endometriosis epithelial …

ABSTRACT Context Peritoneal endometriosis (PE) remains challenging to diagnose, as it cannot be detected using standard imaging modalities and no clinically validated biomarkers are available. Objective To identify novel blood-based biomark…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent, benign condition, affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age. It is associated with a prevalence of sexual dysfunction that is nearly twice as high as that seen in women with ot…

Estrogen receptor α (ERα), encoded by the ESR1 gene, is a key prognostic and predictive biomarker firmly established in routine diagnostics and as a therapeutic target of breast cancer, and it has a central function in breast cancer biology…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the role of DIRAS3 in endometriosis pathogenesis? DESIGN: Prospective patient cohort study combined with experiments in the 12Z human endometriosis epithelial cell line model to determine the role of DIRAS3 in en…

Endometriotic lesions are able to infiltrate surrounding tissue. This is made possible partly by an altered local and systemic immune response that helps achieve neoangiogenesis, cell proliferation and immune escape. Deep-infiltrating endom…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic, benign, and oestrogen-dependent condition and about 10-15% of all women of reproductive age are affected by endometriosis worldwide. It is not curable and pain is one of the most common symptoms of en…

MLLT11 is a gene implicated in cell differentiation and the development and progression of human cancers, but whose role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis is still unknown. Using quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, we analyzed …

BACKROUND: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological illnesses causing extensive psychological, physical and social impact on patient's life and exerts negative effects on health-related quality of Life (HRQoL). However, the eff…

Abstract Backround: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynaecological illnesses causing extensive psychological, physical and social impact on patient´s life and exerts negative effects on health-related quality of Life (HRQoL). Howeve…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by the implantation and proliferation of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. The nonspecific nature of the symptoms and the lack of sensitive, noninvasive diagnostic methods oft…

INTRODUCTION: Surgical experience and hospital procedure volumes have been associated with the risk of severe complications in expert centers for endometriosis in France. However, little is known about other certified units in Central Europ…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a benign disease, characterized by a wide range of symptoms and different degrees of severity, which is why therapy should be individually adapted to the patient's needs. Over the years, a lot of research has …

Objectives Female genital malformations may be present in the form of individual entities, they may involve neighboring organs or they may occur in the context of complex syndromes. Given the anatomical structures of the vulva, vagina, uter…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrium outside the uterus and is associated with chronic pain and infertility. We investigated the role of the long intergenic noncoding RNA 01133 (LIN…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder affecting the quality of life and fertility of many women around the world. Heterogeneous and non-specific symptoms may lead to a delay in diagnosis, with treatment options limited to surger…

Endometriosis affects up to 10% of women of childbearing age, causing symptoms that can include chronic pelvic pain and reduced fertility. The symptoms are not specific to the disease and can be confused with other gynecological conditions …

Endometriosis appears to share certain cancer-related processes, such as cell attachment, invasion, proliferation and neovascularization, some of which can also be found in other healthy tissues. In order to better understand the altered mi…

Abstract Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with an impaired immune response at the site of lesion implantation. The ability of macrophages to respond to changes in their environment is critical for an effective immu…
