Endometriosis (EM) is driven by immune dysregulation and macrophage dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, metabolomic profiling revealed excessive itaconate accumulation in EM lesions, primarily due to elevated ci…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial-like lesions, where aberrant angiogenesis is a hallmark driving lesion establishment and progression. However, the transcripti…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) exhibits localised iron overload. However, the contribution of ferroptosis to EM pathogenesis remains unclear. We investigated how iron overload affects CD8⁺ T cell immune function and the underlying ferroptot…

The pathogenesis of adenomyosis is closely related to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and macrophages. MicroRNAs have been extensively investigated in relation to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in a range of malignancies. Howev…

Endometriosis diagnosis is usually delayed. The gold standard for diagnosing endometriosis is laparoscopy, which is invasive and accompanied by several risks. Currently, there are no effective non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosing endometr…

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death process characterized by the accumulation of lethal oxidative damage. Localized iron overload is a unique clinical phenomenon in ovarian endometriosis (EM). However, the role and mechan…

The development of endometriosis is closely linked to macrophages, and the type M1 macrophage has been hypothesized to play an inhibitory role in its progression. Escherichia coli induces macrophage polarization toward M1 in numerous diseas…
