The uterine cavity was formerly considered sterile; however, over recent years, researchers have identified the presence of endometrial microbiota. An imbalance in the endometrial microbiota, or dysbiosis, has been shown to be associated wi…

The association between adenomyosis and uterine torsion, a rare, serious obstetric condition, remains unclear and has not been systematically investigated. This study aimed to elucidate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical characterist…

Uterine fibroids (UF) are common benign tumors characterized by a higher collagen content compared to normal myometrium. Existing treatment options provide temporary relief or may impact fertility, underscoring the need for a fertility-pres…

GPR30 (G-protein coupled receptor 30) plays a key role in regulating reproductive processes, particularly through estrogen signaling. Previous studies have linked GPR30 polymorphisms to female reproductive disorders such as infertility, rec…

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory condition caused by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus. It can cause pelvic pain, infertility, and a reduction in quality of life. Despite being a very commo…

Women’s health encompasses complex biological, reproductive, and gynecological challenges that require innovative solutions. This review systematically examines emerging biomaterials—such as hydrogels, nanoparticles, and polymers—and their …

Accurate pre-operative discrimination between ovarian endometriomas (EMs) and other benign ovarian tumors is crucial for surgical planning and fertility counseling. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum CA125, CA1…

BACKGROUND: Fibrosis, angiogenesis and chronic inflammation are the intrinsic characteristics of endometriosis. It is accompanied by significant changes in the cell composition of both ectopic and eutopic endometrial tissues, occurring both…

Ovarian cancer (OC) accounts for a significant percentage of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. A small proportion of ovarian cancers, usually in women under 40, originate from germ cells and stromal cells within the ovary, but the v…

The TSC complex, formed by the binding of TSC2 with TSC1 and TBC1D7, plays an important role in the onset of endometrial-related diseases through the TSC-mTORC1 axis. However, the relationship between these proteins and adenomyosis has not …

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory and sex steroid hormone-dependent gynaecologic disease, characterised by endometrial cell proliferation outside the uterine cavity, often accompanied by fibrosis, progesterone resistance, and high rec…

Infertility is a multifactorial condition affecting approximately 10-15% of couples worldwide, with both male and female factors contributing equally. Among the emerging determinants of infertility are epigenetic regulators, particularly hi…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent gynecological disorder. Ferroptosis, known as a novel type of programmed cell death, contributes to EMs pathogenesis by promoting ectopic endometrial migration. This study was designed to investigate ferro…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a non-cancerous invasive condition where tissue resembling the lining of the uterus is found outside of the uterine cavity. Endometriotic lesions have been found in nearly every organ of the body. This review highligh…

Extensive preclinical and clinical studies have shown that exposure to green light-emitting diodes (gLED) exerts analgesic effect. We hypothesized that exposure to gLED alleviates endometriosis-associated pain. To test this, we induced deep…

Endometriosis is a chronic oestrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is frequently accompanied by gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Despite this overlap, gastric mucosal histopat…

The extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influences cell behavior, yet its properties in human endometrial lesions (HEL) and human uterine fibromas (HUF) are not well characterized. This study aimed to characterize their ECM and evaluate i…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder. But the exact pathogenetic mechanism of the disease is not clear, with some theories proposing that the disease is caused by the interaction of endocrine, immune, …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder in which inflammatory and immune responses play a crucial role in its development and progression. This study aimed to identify potential inflammation-related biomarkers for the diagnosis and…

Alternative splicing (AS) plays a crucial role in various diseases, yet its functional significance in endometriosis remains poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed RNA-seq data from 146 endometriosis patients and 114 control endometr…

The pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis may involve a complex combination of multiple factors, including chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Hormonal therapy, the current standard for pharmacotherapy in endometriosis, cause…

In the intricate landscape of health disorders in women, polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis stand out. Despite their complete etiology being unknown, their impact on women's health and link to hereditary factors have given them the…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Estrogen receptor β (ERβ), which is highly expressed in endometriotic tissues, is regarded as a key gene contributing to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Molecular targeted therapy of MicroR…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), one of the most common endocrine and reproductive disorders in women of reproductive age, is frequently complicated by insulin resistance (IR), which affects 50%–80% of PCOS patients and is strongly associa…
