Endometriosis is a chronic, incurable disease. Due to limited efficacy, high recurrence rates, and serious side effects of current treatments, development of new, targeted, non-hormonal therapies is urgently needed. We previously reported t…

BACKGROUND: Age-related diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) exhibits marked significant individual variation. Some women of advanced age with normal ovarian reserve (NOR) achieve better reproductive outcomes than age-matched DOR patients. OBJE…

This study investigated how chronic pelvic pain (CPP) develops using rhesus macaques with naturally occurring endometriosis and a multiple lesion induction mouse model (MIM), as repeated retrograde menstruation is considered an underlying m…

PurposeTo investigate the impact of regressed endometrial hyperplasia (EH) on assisted reproductive technology outcomes, particularly in comparison with infertile women with a relatively normal endometrium.MethodsThis retrospective study in…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is an exceedingly rare tumor. Histologically, the tumor is predominantly characterized by HAC with additional components, as documented in previous reports. The coexistence of endometria…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease associated with chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Growing evidence indicates that endometriotic lesions are not the sole source of pain. Instead, central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction creat…

Immune dysfunction is one of the central components in the development and progression of endometriosis by establishing a chronic inflammatory environment. Western-style high-fat diets (HFD) have been linked to greater systemic inflammation…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes debilitating pelvic pain in women. Macrophages are considered to be key players in promoting disease progression, as abundant macrophages are present in ectopic lesions and elevate…

The global pharmaceutical market has recently shifted its focus from small molecule drugs to peptide, protein, and nucleic acid drugs, which now comprise a majority of the top-selling pharmaceutical products on the market. Although these bi…

Abstract Due to the vital roles of macrophages in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, targeting macrophages could be a new therapeutic direction. Here, we investigated the efficacy of niclosamide for the resolution of perturbed microenvironm…

Due to the vital roles of macrophages in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, targeting macrophages could be a promising therapeutic direction. Here, we investigated the efficacy of niclosamide for the resolution of a perturbed microenvironme…

The well-prepared endometrium with appropriate thickness plays a critical role in successful embryo implantation. The thin endometrium is the main factor of frozen-embryo transfer (FET), resulting in the failure of implantation undergoing F…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, which causes chronic pelvic pain and infertility in women of reproductive age. Due to limited efficacy of current treatment options, a critical need exists to develop new and effective treatm…

Broad-spectrum antibiotics are the conservative treatment for tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) or pelvic abscess, but the failure rate of antibiotic therapy remains higher in patients with a larger abscess. The present study aimed to evaluate the…

During a minimally invasive tumor resection procedure, it is still a challenge to rapidly and accurately trace tiny malignant tumors in real time. Fluorescent molecular imaging is considered an efficient method of localizing tumors during s…

BackgroundInfertility-related stress can seriously impact the fertility quality of life (QoL) of infertile women. Resilience, as a coping resource, can effectively combat psychological stress. This study aimed to evaluate the fertility QoL …

Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3)-modified mitochondrial fission participates in the progression of several types of cancers. However, its role in tongue cancer requires investigation. The aim of our study is to determine whether Sirt3 knockdown regulates …

Many in vitro studies have shown that tea catechins had vevarious health beneficial effects. However, inconsistent results between in vitro and in vivo studies or between laboratory tests and epidemical studies are observed. Low bioavailabi…

Endometriosis causes severe chronic pelvic pain and infertility. We have recently reported that niclosamide treatment reduces growth and progression of endometriosis-like lesions and inflammatory signaling (NF${\rm \small K}$B and STAT3) in…

Endometriosis causes severe chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Because the standard medication and surgical treatments of endometriosis show high recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to improve current treatment options. In the initial…

Adenomyosis is a finding that is associated with dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding, associated with PI3K/AKT signaling overactivity. To investigate the effect of metformin on the growth of eutopic endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) fr…
