Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which endometrial-like tissue grows ectopically, resulting in pelvic pain and infertility. IL-23 is a key contributor in the development and differentiation of TH17 cells, driving TH17 cell…

Abstract Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease where endometrial-like tissue grows ectopically, resulting in pelvic pain and infertility. Interleukin (IL)-23 is established as a key contributor in the development and differentiati…

Endometriosis is an estrogen dominant, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus. The most common symptoms experienced by patients include manifestations of chronic pelvic pain…

Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial lining outside of the uterus. Mast cells have emerged as key players in regulating not only allergic responses but also other me…

IL-33 is a member of the IL-1 family and was first identified as an alarmin that acts at mucosal barrier sites. However, IL-33 is now understood to be a pleiotropic cytokine that acts on a variety of immune and non-immune cell types to prom…

OBJECTIVE: To identify immune cells, cytokines, and immune cell transcriptome in the menstrual effluent (ME) of women with endometriosis compared with that of healthy donors. DESIGN: Live immune cells were isolated from human ME samples an…

Chronic inflammation and localized alterations in immune cell function are suspected to contribute to the progression of endometriosis and its associated symptoms. In particular, the alarmin IL-33 is elevated in the plasma, peritoneal fluid…

Abstract Introduction: Chronic inflammation drives endometriosis (EM) and its associated symptoms. Interleukin (IL)-33, has gained therapeutic interest as it is elevated in the plasma, peritoneal fluid (PF), and lesions of EM patients. Howe…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the involvement of the endocannabinoid (EC) family member in the pathophysiology of endometriosis (EMS). DESIGN: Mass spectrometry analysis of plasma and tissue samples from patients with EMS, controls, and a mouse …

Endometriosis (EM) is characterized by the growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic inflammation and pelvic pain. Lesion proliferation, vascularization, and associated inflammation are the hallmark features o…

Endometriosis is a debilitating gynecological disease characterized by the extrauterine presence of endometrial-like tissues located on the peritoneal membrane and organs of the pelvic cavity. Notably, dysfunctional immune activation in wom…

With multifactorial etiologies, combined with disease heterogeneity and a lack of suitable diagnostic markers and therapy, endometriosis remains a major reproductive health challenge. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as major contr…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory, gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue lesions outside of the uterus. Neutrophils are elevated in the systemic circulation and peritoneal fluid of endometriosi…

Abstract Introduction Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease categorized by the growth of endometrial tissue on the ovaries, peritoneal wall and other internal organs. Despite it’s prevalence (176 million women worldwide), the…

Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. Although the etiology of endometriosis remains elusive, immunological dysfunction has been…

Endometriosis is a debilitating condition that is categorized by the abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Although the pathogenesis of this disease remains unknown, it is well established that endometriosis patients exh…

RNA-binding proteins are key regulatory molecules involved primarily in post-transcriptional gene regulation of RNAs. Post-transcriptional gene regulation is critical for adequate cellular growth and survival. Recent reports have shown key …

Endometriosis is a complex, inflammatory disease that affects 6-10% of reproductive-aged women. Almost half of the women with endometriosis experience infertility. Despite the excessive prevalence, the pathogenesis of endometriosis and its …
