Endometrial cells with high ALDH activity contribute to uterine development and regeneration
·doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-6831916/v3

Abstract Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. Here, we used in…

preprint 2025
ALDH1A1+ cells are endometrial progenitors contributing to regeneration and endometriosis
·doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-6831916/v1

Abstract Endometrial stem cells and their regenerative properties are implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of the adult mouse endometrium, we identified a sub-population of aldehyde dehydrogenas…

Fluorescence-guided ureteral identification in robotic surgery for advanced endometriosis: a comparison of junior versus senior surgeons
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-025-05082-1

Identifying the ureters in patients with advanced endometriosis and severe pelvic adhesive disease can be challenging. Adhesiolysis along the deformed pelvic sidewall may increase the risk of prolonged operative time and incidental ureteral…

Indocyanine Green-Assisted Retrograde Ureterolysis in Robotic Transvaginal NOTES for the Management of Stage IV Endometriosis with Obliterated Cul-de-sac
Journal of minimally invasive gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.jmig.2023.02.005

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore the use of indocyanine green (ICG) in highlighting ureteral anatomical landmarks for the successful and safe execution of robotic-assisted transvaginal NOTES hysterectomy with resection of deeply infiltrated endo…
