Abstract Endometriosis is a chronic disease of gynaecological origin that affects approximately 10% of women worldwide and has a significant impact on patients’ lives. Women with endometriosis attempting to conceive may experience infertili…

Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and a significant reduction in qua…

Biomarker identification could help in deciphering endometriosis pathophysiology in addition to their use in the development of non invasive diagnostic and prognostic approaches, that are essential to greatly improve patient care. Despite e…

An anonymous online survey in French was used to assess if endometriosis patients would be as ready as unaffected women to donate their menstrual blood for biological research on endometriosis and evaluate potential barriers to such donatio…

STUDY QUESTION: Does a reduction in fertility and/or systemic immune cell change occur during the early implantation period in a mouse model of adenomyosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: A reduction in fertility was observed in mice with adenomyosis, co…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, affecting 10% of women in their reproductive years, remains poorly understood. Both individual and environmental unexplained factors are implicated in this heterogenous condition. This study aims to examine the in…

Endometriosis is a condition characterized by increased oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, which can be treated with progestins and other progesterone receptor ligands. However, some patients are refractory to this treatment and the…

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the adenomyosis phenotype affects the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR)-based serum metabolic profile of patients. DESIGN: Cohort study. SETTING: University hospital-based research center. PATIENT…

The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been implicated in the development of adenomyosis, along with dysregulated immune responses. Inflammation potentially induces Notch signaling, which could promote this EMT. The objective of…

Research questionWhat is the correlation between serum metabolic profile and endometriosis phenotype?DesignA pilot study nestled in a prospective cohort study at a university hospital, including 46 patients with painful endometriosis who un…

Endometriosis is a chronic hormono-dependent inflammatory gynecological disease. Endometriosis can be subdivided into three forms: superficial peritoneal implants, endometrioma, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Inflammation is a t…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological disorder associated with subfertility, pelvic pain and abnormal uterine bleeding that have significant consequences for the health and quality of life of women. Histologically, it is defined…

-tolerized human macrophages mitigate the fibro-inflammatory phenotype of endometriotic cells in an interleukin-10 (IL-10)-dependent manner. A history of severe Gram-negative infection is associated with reduced infertility duration and all…

BACKGROUND: Despite intense research, it remains intriguing why hormonal therapies in general and progestins in particular sometimes fail in endometriosis. OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE: We review here the action mechanisms of progesterone recept…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a follicular fluid-specific metabolic profile in deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) depending on the presence of an associated ovarian endometrioma (OMA) that could lead to the identification of biomarkers for…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the effects of B lymphocyte inactivation or depletion on the progression of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Skewing activated B cells toward regulatory B cells (Bregs) by Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibition usi…

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial cells outside the uterine cavity. Thyroid autoimmunity has been associated with endometriosis. This work investigated the potential pathophysiological link between endome…

The pathophysiology of endometriosis is not completely understood, but an aberrant immune response in the peritoneal environment seems to be crucial for the proliferation of ectopic endometrial cells - as those cells escape apoptosis and pe…

STUDY QUESTION: Is endometriosis associated with aberrant sialylation patterns and what is the potential impact of such anomalies on cell migratory properties? SUMMARY ANSWER: The reduced α-2,6 sialylation patterns in the peritoneal fluid o…

BackgroundAdenomyosis (ADE) is an enigmatic uterine disorder. Several types have been previously described: diffuse adenomyosis (DIF-ADE), focal adenomyosis (FOC-ADE), and association of focal and diffuse lesions (FOC/DIF-ADE). Abnormal imm…

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease with fibrosis of the skin and internal organs and vascular alterations. Dysregulations in the oxidant/antioxidant balance are known to be a major factor in the pathogenesis of the disease. I…

The physiopathology of endometriosis is not completely understood and its progression is associated with a local and systemic inflammatory reaction. It is important to clarify the potential role of the immune system to better understand its…

Introduction: Endometriosis, histologically defined as the presence of endometrium-like tissue - glands and stroma - that develops outside of the uterine cavity, is still an enigmatic disease responsible for pelvic pain and infertility. The…
