Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent gynecological disease manifested by cyclic pelvic pain and female infertility. Although many studies have shown that neoangiogenesis plays an essential role in the development of early endometriosis, the…

Endometriosis affects over 190 million women globally, and effective therapies are urgently needed to address the burden of endometriosis on women's health. Using an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven target discovery platform, two unrepor…

Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological disease with endometrial cell implantation outside the uterus. Angiogenesis is a major pathophysiology in endometriosis. Our previous studies have demonstrated that the prodrug of epigallocate…

Endometriosis is a common reproductive disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial implants outside of the uterus. It affects ~1 in 10 women of reproductive age. Endometriosis in the ovary, also known as endometrioma (OMA), is the…

Endometriosis is a chronic disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. It affects 8%-10% of women in their reproductive years, and represents a major clinical problem with deleterious …

(-)-Epigallocatechin-gallate octaacetate (pro-EGCG), a prodrug of epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG), has been used for pre-clinical study for the treatment of endometriosis. A validated analytical method has been developed for the determinati…

Endometriosis is defined as the development of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Pathophysiology of this disease includes abnormal hormone profiles, cell survival, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, oxidative stress,…

Abstract Study question What are the therapeutic targets and molecular mechanisms that bring superior pharmacological effects of ProEGCG against angiogenesis in endometriosis? Summary answer ProEGCG binds to PXK and downregulates PXK-mediat…

Abstract Study question What are the underlying mechanisms of melatonin to treat endometriosis? Summary answer Melatonin inhibited estrogen receptors/HIF1α/VEGF signaling pathway and limited the endometriotic lesions growth and angiogenesis…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease with chronic pelvic inflammation. In order to study the pathophysiology of endometriosis and examine the therapeutic effects of new pharmaceuticals for endometriosis treatment, di…

Endometrioma (OMA) is the most common subtype of endometriosis, in which the endometriotic lesions are implanted in the ovary. Women with OMA are usually associated with infertility, presenting with reduced ovarian reserve, low oocyte quant…

Endometriosis is defined as endometrial tissues found outside the uterine cavity. ProEGCG is a prodrug of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent polyphenol found in green tea. It inhibits the development of endometriotic lesions of mouse…

Abstract Study question What are the therapeutic targets and mechanisms of green tea EGCG and Pro-EGCG in treating endometriosis? Summary answer EGCG and Pro-EGCG have unique molecular targets to regulate interactions of B cells, macrophage…

Endometriosis (EM) is defined as endometrial tissues found outside the uterus. Growth and development of endometriotic cells in ectopic sites can be promoted via multiple pathways, including MAPK/MEK/ERK, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, NF-κB, Rho/ROCK, rea…

Endometriosis is a common, benign, and hormone-dependent gynaecological disorder that displays altered immunoinflammatory profiles. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) suppressed immunosurveillance in endometriosis in human and mouse m…
