BACKGROUND: Tumor microenvironment is well known to have a key role in tumor development. Extracellular vesicles are capable in cell signaling transduction and important in regulation of tumor microenvironment. OBJECTIVE: To investigate wh…

Endometriosis is a common disease in women and may be one of the factors that induces malignant epithelial ovarian tumors. Previous studies suggested that endometriosis is related to ARID1A mutation mediating the expression of HDAC6, but th…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that affects approximately 5-10% of reproductive-aged women. However, the etiology and pathophysiology of endometriosis are currently unclear. The objective of this study was to identify a pot…

CONTEXT: Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have emerged as modulators of the disease microenvironment, thereby supporting disease progression. However, the potential role of EVs and their content to the pathophysiology of endometriosis re…

Abstract To determine whether genetic predisposition to endometriosis varies depending on ethnicity and in association with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) in a Taiwanese population. We conducted a genome-wide association study (G…

Endometriosis is an inflammatory and estrogen-dependent gynecological disease associated with exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors. n-Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), a ubiquitous plasticizer, has weak estrogenic activity, and exposu…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease are considered to be risk factors for ovarian cancer, as dysbiosis probably contributes to ovarian cancer development via chronic inflammation and immune response alteration. Therefor…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease and is associated etiologically with environmental endocrine disruptor (EED) exposure. 4-nonylphenol (NP), a widely found EED, has weak estrogenic activity and modulates pl…

Endometriosis shares similarities with several autoimmune diseases. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-C genotype is associated with several human autoimmune diseases. HLA-C is a ligand of killer cell immunoglobulin receptors (KIRs) and is a…

Abstract An elevated level of IL‐10 has been considered a critical factor for the development of endometriosis; however, its detailed mechanism and causal relationship remain unclear. This study explored the cellular source and angiogenic a…

Ovarian cancer is the one of the most lethal gynecological cancer types. MicroRNAs (miRs) are noncoding RNAs that modulate the translation of their target mRNAs via binding to a complementary sequence in the target 3' untranslated region, a…

Ovarian carcinosarcoma cancer is the most lethal form of gynecological malignancy, but the pathogenesis and biological function for this ovarian cancer remain unknown. We establishment the transgenic mouse model of K‐ras G12D p53 loxP/loxP …

Endometriosis is the hormone-dependent product of endometrial tissue found outside the uterus. Recently, micro-RNAs (miRNAs) were shown to play a role in endometriotic lesion development. However, the mechanism of steroid hormones responsib…
