review 2022
Journal of clinical medicine ·doi:10.3390/jcm11061744

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder traditionally viewed as "elusive". Several excellent review papers have been published fairly recently on its pathogenesis, and several theories have been proposed. However, the fal…

Abstract Purpose We investigated the change, if any, in prostaglandin E2 (PGE 2 ) signaling in endometriotic lesions of different developmental stages in mouse. In addition, we evaluated the effect of treatment of mice with induced deep end…

Abstract Purpose While the prevailing view holds that the prostaglandin E2 (PGE 2 ) signaling plays a vital role in endometriosis, PGE 2 also is known to be anti‐fibrotic. We investigated the immunostaining of COX‐2, EP2, and EP4, along wit…

Abstract Background Accumulating data indicate that sensory nerve derived neuropeptides such as substance P and calcitonin gene related-protein (CGRP) can accelerate the progression of endometriosis via their respective receptors, so can ag…

Sensory and sympathetic nerves have been shown to promote the progression of endometriosis through the release of neuromediators and the lesional activation of respective receptors. The role of vagus nerves (VN) in lesional progression, how…

Abstract Background A large body of research highlights the importance of early-life environmental impact on the health outcome in adulthood. However, whether early-life adversity (ELA) has any impact on the development of endometriosis is …

We tested the hypothesis that enriched environment (EE), consisting of enlarged space, and increased physical activity and social interactions, hinders the development of endometriosis through attenuated adrenergic signaling, enhanced autop…

CONTEXT: Whether endometriosis is a progressive disease is a highly contentious issue. While progression is reported to be unlikely in asymptomatic deep endometriosis, progression in symptomatic deep endometriosis has recently been reported…

CONTEXT: While fibrosis in endometriosis has recently loomed prominently, the sources of myofibroblasts, the principal effector cell in fibrotic diseases, remain largely obscure. Mesothelial cells (MCs) can be converted into myofibroblasts …

Endometriosis is a hormonal disease, as well as a chronic inflammatory disease. While various immune cells are documented to be involved in endometriosis, there is a wanton lack of a bigger picture on how these cells are coordinated to work…

Abstract Endometriosis is estrogen-dependent disorder. Two theories provide the explanations for the increased estrogen production. One is the feed-forward loop model linking inflammation and estrogen production. The more recent model evoke…

Objective: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with an enigmatic pathogenesis. Recent studies suggest that the behavior of normal endometrial stromal cells can dramatically change under hypoxic conditions, which effectively turn…

Endometriotic lesions are known to be hyperinnervated, especially in lesions of deep endometriosis (DE), which are frequently in close proximity to various nerve plexuses. DE lesions typically have higher fibromuscular content than that of …
