Acute severe joint pain is a major symptom in gouty arthritis (GA), and its adequate treatment represents an unmet medical need. Mrgprb2, a specific mast cell receptor, has been implicated in the generation of chronic pain by mobilizing mas…
Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of mechanical properties in the ovarian microenvironment for ovarian function. However, the mechanisms that cause ovarian matrix stiffening during aging remain incompletely understood. Here w…
INTRODUCTION: NR5A1 variants are among the most frequent monogenic causes of disorders of sex development (DSD). However, genotype-phenotype correlations remain unclear, and oligogenic contributions to variability are underexplored in non-c…
Endometriosis (EMS) remains understudied in effective management strategies. The interplay between macrophage dysfunction and microbiota-derived immune signals emerges as a potential mechanism in EMS pathogenesis, suggesting its relevance f…
BACKGROUND: Pro-EGCG has shown therapeutic promise for endometriosis, yet its immunoregulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are key drivers of disease progression. This study investigates whether Pro-E…
Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer arising from the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS). Despite growing clinical awareness, its underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully unde…
