Uterine fibroids, the most common tumors in reproductive-age women, remain without a defined precursor tissue state. Unlike cervical dysplasia preceding cervical cancer, or colonic polyps preceding colorectal malignancy, no equivalent "at-r…
Uterine fibroids (UFs) and endometrial polyps (EPs) are common benign gynecological conditions with distinct anatomical origins. However, their molecular impact on endometrial function remains poorly understood. This study aimed to descript…
This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem ce…
Dysmenorrhea, the most prevalent gynecologic complaint among adolescent females, often has unclear underlying causes. However, it is widely recognized that the accumulation of estrogen and prostaglandins mediates inflammatory responses, lea…
Background: Uterine leiomyomas, commonly known as fibroids, are the most prevalent benign tumors in women of reproductive age and a major contributor to gynecological morbidity. Although surgery and hormonal therapies are standard treatment…
Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most common benign gynecologic tumours affecting women of reproductive age. This study aims to deepen the understanding of UFs complex aetiology through harnessing the power of 3D organoid models derived from …
The most common malignant gynecologic diseases are cervical, uterine, ovarian, vaginal, and vulvar cancer. Among them, ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. A great number of women suffer…
BACKGROUND: Primary dysmenorrhea, a highly prevalent condition that significantly impacts women's daily activities and quality of life, occurs without underlying pelvic pathological changes. Conventional treatments, such as warm water thera…
Uterine leiomyoma (UL), commonly referred to as benign tumors, is characterized by excessive cell proliferation, extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, and the presence of stem cell-like properties. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+…
The period during which tissue and organ development occurs is particularly vulnerable to the influence of environmental exposures. However, the specific mechanisms through which biological pathways are disrupted in response to developmenta…
Uterine fibroids (UFs) are common tumors in women of reproductive age. It is imperative to comprehend UFs' associated risk factors to facilitate early detection and prevention. Simple relying on surgical/pharmacological treatment of advance…
Uterine fibroids (UFs; leiomyoma) are the most common benign neoplastic threat to women worldwide, exacting an immense personal burden on female health and a monetary expense to the healthcare system estimated in the hundreds of billions of…
Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most important benign neoplastic threat to women's health worldwide, with a prevalence of up to 80% in premenopausal women, and can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and infertility. Progesterone signaling…
INTRODUCTION: Uterine Fibroids (UFs) are the most predominant benign tumor in women who are coming of reproductive age, and causes intense economic load priced in billions of US dollars. Historically, surgery has been the main definitive tr…
Uterine fibroids are benign monoclonal neoplasms of the myometrium, representing the most common tumors in women worldwide. To date, no long-term or noninvasive treatment option exists for hormone-dependent uterine fibroids, due to the limi…
INTRODUCTION: Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most prevalent benign neoplastic threat originating from myometria of reproductive age women, with a profound financial load valued in hundreds of billions of dollars. Unfortunately, there is no …
Uterine fibroids (UFs) are monoclonal, benign tumors that contain abnormal smooth muscle cells and the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Although benign, UFs are a major source of gynecologic and reproductive dysfunction, ranging …
INTRODUCTION: Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most common benign tumor arising from myometrium of reproductive age women, with significant financial burden estimated in hundreds of billions of dollars. Unfortunately, there are limitations in…
Diet and nutrition are fundamental in maintaining the general health of populations, including women's health. Health status can be affected by nutrient deficiency and vice versa. Gene-nutrient interactions are important contributors to hea…
CONTEXT: Uterine fibroids (UF) are the most common benign tumor of the myometrium (MM) in women of reproductive age. However, the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of UF is largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: To explore the link between nuclea…
Abstract Endometriosis and uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are benign gynecological disorders affecting 5-15% of women of reproductive age. They cause a wide range of symptoms including mild to severe pelvic pain and infertility. Due to a pau…
Uterine fibroids (UFs) are benign tumors that arise from a single genetically altered mesenchymal stem cell under the influence of gonadal hormones. UFs are the most common benign gynecologic tumors in premenopausal women worldwide. It is e…
