Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue. Despite extensive research, its molecular pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we conducted an integrated …

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus and altered energy metabolism, but the specific mechanisms involved remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of Si…

Endometriosis (EMs) is an inflammatory, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Despite many efforts to develop effective treatment regimens, the overall response to halting EMs …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of active endometrial-like tissues outside the uterus, causes symptoms like dysmenorrhea and infertility due to the fibrosis of endometrial cells, which involves excessive deposition …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease with the feature of estrogen dependence and inflammation. The function of autophagy and the correlation with inflammation were not yet revealed. METHODS: Autophagosomes were detect…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease with obviously feature of estrogen-dependence and inflammatory response. The applications of primary endometriotic stromal cells in research of endometriosis are restricted for sho…

Abstract Endometriosis is a benign gynaecological disease appearing with pelvic pain, rising dysmenorrhoea and infertility seriously impacting on 10% of reproductive‐age females. This research attempts to demonstrate the function and molecu…

Abstract Purpose Although tubal factor infertility (TFI) and endometriosis-related infertility all can result in female infertility, the pathogenesis of TFI and endometriosis-related infertility were different. The pathophysiologic mechanis…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease associated with pain and infertility. The objective of this study was to determine the expression of ZEB1 in endometriosis and its role in 17β-estradiol (E2)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal tran…

PROBLEM: The role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) actin filament associated protein 1 antisense RNA1 (AFAP1-AS1) in the etiology of endometriosis is unknown. METHOD OF STUDY: Expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers…
