Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects ∼10% of women during reproductive age. It is characterised by ectopic (ECT) growth of endometrial-like tissue mainly in the pelvic cavity. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs)…

Endometriosis affects around one in ten people who menstruate, nearly 200 million globally, yet remains one of the most underdiagnosed and misunderstood conditions in medicine. For centuries, debilitating pelvic pain has been normalised or …

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterised by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus. Despite its high prevalence and recent advances in molecular science, many aspects of endometriosis and its patho…

The mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify cell type-specific gene expression changes i…

Endometriosis, defined as the growth of endometrial-like tissues outside the uterus, is a common disease among women. Numerous in vivo rodent models of endometriosis have been developed to explore multiple aspects of this poorly understood …

In vivo models of endometriosis enable the discovery and preclinical testing of new therapies. Several rodent models of endometriosis exist, but a lack of harmonization impedes reproducibility and comparability of results among investigator…

The aetiology of endometriosis remains poorly understood. In vitro model systems provide the opportunity to identify the mechanisms driving disease pathogenesis using human cells. Three-dimensional models, particularly organoid systems, hav…

Pain is a debilitating symptom of endometriosis, and its mechanisms are often explored using rodent models. However, a lack of harmonization amongst models and behavioural measures, in addition to inconsistent reporting, might limit the ove…

This group was formed out of the conviction that endometriosis research has not progressed at a pace in proportion to disease severity and the negative impact on women's quality of life. Furthermore, advancement in our understanding of this…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterised by the presence of ectopic endometrial-like tissue (lesions), reduced fertility and chronic pain. Impacting both the health and psycho-social functioning of millions of women w…

Understanding of molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, and upstream drivers of lesion formation, remains limited. Using a C57Bl/6 mouse model in which decidualized endometrial tissue is injected subcutan…

Abstract Endometriosis negatively impacts the health-related quality of life of 190 million women worldwide. Novel advances in non-hormonal treatments for this debilitating condition are desperately needed. Macrophages play a vital role in …

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease that is defined as the growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, commonly on the lining of the pelvic cavity, visceral organs and in the ovaries. It affects around 190 million women of re…

Endometriosis is defined by the presence of extrauterine endometrial-like tissue, which can cause pain and infertility in 10% of reproductive-age women. To date, the pathogenesis is poorly understood resulting in significant diagnostic dela…

Ribosome biogenesis is a cellular process critical for protein homeostasis during cell growth and multiplication. Our previous study confirmed up-regulation of ribosome biogenesis during endometriosis progression and malignant transition, t…

Macrophages are intimately involved in the pathophysiology of endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue (lesions) outside the uterus. By combining genetic and pharmacological monoc…

Our understanding of the aetiology and pathophysiology of endometriosis remains limited. Disease modelling in the field is problematic as many versions of induced mouse models of endometriosis exist. We integrated bioluminescent imaging of …

Endometriosis, a common gynecological disease, causes chronic pelvic pain and infertility in women of reproductive age. Due to the limited efficacy of current therapies, a critical need exists to develop new treatments for endometriosis. In…
