Chronic endometritis (CE) is a plasma cell-related endometrial inflammatory phenotype that may compromise fertility, while endometriosis (EM) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder. However, whether EM is associated with CD138-defined …

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and focal adenomyosis of the outer myometrium (FAOM) are closely related chronic inflammatory conditions that often coexist. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response …

Adenomyosis, characterized by the invasion of endometrial cells into the myometrium, may disrupt immune homeostasis within the eutopic endometrium, thereby impairing endometrial receptivity. This retrospective case-control study aimed to in…

Endometriosis (EM) is a condition that impacts roughly 10% of women within the reproductive age demographic on a global scale. Due to the limitations of conventional diagnostic techniques for endometriosis, a concerted effort is necessary t…

Endometriosis is a gynecological inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial-like tissue. This study aims to elucidate the effect of hormonal treatment in human endometriosis inflammation, angiogenesis and fibr…

Endometriosis, a debilitating disease characterized by chronic inflammation, might be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, the long-term health implications for offspring born to mothers with endometriosis remain inadequatel…

Endometriosis is associated with immune dysregulation yet circulating cytokine measurements have shown limited discriminatory value. We investigated whether peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from women with endometriosis exhibit al…

Adenomyosis (AM) commonly affects women of reproductive age and can impair female fertility, yet its diagnosis and pathogenesis remain challenging. We compared serum IgG1 Fc‑glycosylation profiles between AM patients (n = 30) and non‑AM con…

The study explored the mechanism of Dan'e-fukang soft extract in treating endometriosis (EMs) through network pharmacology. The main active ingredients of Dan'e-fukang soft extract were analyzed based on the traditional Chinese medicine sys…

Endometriosis is a prevalent estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition that affects millions of women of reproductive age worldwide. It is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, which leads to …

Tokishakuyakusan (TSS), a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine, is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. This study examined the effects of TSS on fecundity and endometriosis-like lesions during pregnancy in a murin…

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) plays a prominent role in endometriosis research, but the evolution and current status of this field have not been systematically mapped. METHODS: This bibliometric study systematically analyzed publ…

Endometrial immune disorders create an inhospitable endometrial environment for embryonic nidation in endometriosis. CD8 + tissue resident memory T cells (CD8 +TRM) are abundant tissue resident immune cells in endometrium, but the effect of…

We wished to ascertain if there is an association between neutrophil extracellular traps and endometriosis (EMS). We collected the lesional tissues and normal endometrium of 30 patients suffering from endometriosis. Samples were also taken …

Clinical evidence increasingly suggests that traditional treatments for dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) have limited success. In this study, blood samples from 10 DUB patients and 10 healthy controls were collected for transcriptome se…

This study investigated the role of ACSL4 in endometrial receptivity disorders in endometriosis (EMs) and evaluated PRGL493, an ACSL4 inhibitor, as a potential therapeutic target. Bioinformatic analysis identified ACSL4 as a potential key r…

This study aimed to explore the causal link between immunophenotypes and adenomyosis using Mendelian randomization (MR). We conducted a bidirectional MR analysis on 731 immunophenotypes, employing inverse-variance weighted (IVW) as the prim…

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are now widely recognized as a key therapeutic option for individuals experiencing infertility. Despite these technological improvements, ART success rates remain suboptimal. One emerging area of int…

As a complex chronic gynecological disorder characterized by multifaceted etiology involving genetics, environment, immunity and inflammation, endometriosis (EM) has long been a significant concern for women of reproductive age worldwide. T…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease for which there is currently no accurate screening test to identify or predict the probability of the disease in individuals. This can often lead to delays in diagnosis. Several systemic immun…

This study investigates the role of circSMAD2 in ectopic endometrium of endometriosis (EMS) patients, focusing on its upregulation of FBXW7 m6A level by mediating the formation of the METTL3/METTL14 complex. Ectopic endometria from EMS pati…

Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and chronic pain. It affects approximately 2-10 % of women of reproductive age and up…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis is a common gynecological condition characterized by the abnormal growth of endometrial-like tissue in locations outside the uterus, and its development remains poorly understood. This study aims to investi…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, often leading to secondary dysmenorrhea (SD), chronic pelvic pain and infertility. This review explores the i…

High-throughput sequencing reveals that organs once considered sterile, such as the endometrium, actually harbor distinct microbial communities. These organ-specific microbiota play critical roles in disease pathogenesis, including cancer. …
