Circadian rhythms are ~24 h endogenous rhythms driven by both central and peripheral clocks, with their core mechanism being a transcription‑translation feedback loop mediated by master clock genes. The present review outlines the organizat…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth and proliferation of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to inflammation. Although low‑dose contraceptive pills are widely used for its…

Endometriosis (EM) is a common chronic gynaecological disease that affects 10% of women of reproductive age globally. EM is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in extrauterine locations, and it can result in pelvic pain…

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is one of the most common causes of gynecological systemic lesions in women before menopause. The most representative histological feature of EM is that the endometrium appears outsi…

Endometriosis‑associated infertility is considered to be linked to cellular senescence. The present study assessed whether rapamycin, a senescence inhibitor, ameliorates endometriosis‑associated infertility by upregulating peroxisome prolif…

Endometriosis (EM) is one of the most common diseases among women of reproductive age. The etiology and pathogenesis of EM remain unclear and therefore there is a lack of effective treatment measures, which affects physical and mental healt…

Previous research has revealed an association between endometriosis and various autoimmune diseases, while recent data suggest, for the first time, an association between endometriosis and the risk of developing ankylosing spondylitis (AS).…

Endometriosis is initiated by the movement of endometrial cells in the uterus to the fallopian tubes, the ovaries and the peritoneal cavity after the shedding of the uterus lining. To cause endometriosis, it is often necessary for these end…

Endometriosis is highly dependent on angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Prostaglandin E2, an arachidonic acid metabolite, has been shown to promote the formation of new blood and lymphatic vessels. However, the role of another arachidonic …

Bge.), has a number of pharmacological effects such as anti‑inflammation and anti‑oxidation and serves a significant role in the treatment of EMs. In the present study, network pharmacology and experimental validation were used to elucidate…

Emerging data have indicated that long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNA) are associated with the pathogenesis of endometriosis. However, few are associated with endometriosis‑associated infertility. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, the rol…

Endometriosis (EM) is a common gynecological disease, and its pathological process is accompanied by the migration and proliferation of uterine cells. Berberine (BBR) has been shown to exhibit antitumor activity; however, the effects of BBR…

The estrogen 17β‑estradiol has been proven to serve an indispensable role in the occurrence and development of adenomyosis (ADS). The let‑7a/Lin28B axis can control cell proliferation by acting as a tumor‑inhibiting axis in numerous types o…

The pathological expression and function of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), a key enzyme that converts pyruvate into lactic acid during glycolysis, remains unknown in endometriosis. In the present study, LDHA expression in tissue samples wa…

Endometriosis (EM), the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity, is a common gynecological disorder. At present, the pathogenesis of EM has not been fully elucidated, so there is still a lack of effec…

Endometriosis (EM) is a multifactorial and debilitating chronic benign gynecological disease, but the pathogenesis of the disease is not completely understood. Dysregulated expression of microRNAs (miRNA/miR) is associated with the etiology…

Aquaporin 2 (AQP2), AQP5 and AQP8 participate in adenomyosis (AM). Ηowever, the roles of these three molecules in AM have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, Institute of Cancer Research female mice were used to establish a mod…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a common disease in women aged 25‑45 years, and pain is the main clinical symptom. The primary clinical treatment is surgical excision and drug therapy targeting the ectopic lesions, but these have not been very effec…

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (Huc‑MSCs)‑derived exosomes on the migratory abilities of endometrial glandular epithelial cells, and to evaluate the underlying mechanism fro…

Abnormal menstruation may result in several pathological alterations and gynaecological diseases, including endometriosis, menstrual pain and miscarriage. However, the pathogenesis of menstruation remains unclear due to the limited number o…

Following the publication of this paper, an interested reader drew to the attention of the Editorial Office that there were potentially concerns regarding the manner in which the botulinum toxin animal studies had been performed, and also i…

Endometriosis is closely associated with inflammatory reactions and angiogenesis. Whether PPARγ is a target for the treatment of endometriosis remains unknown. The present study was designed to investigate the impact of a PPARγ agonist (ros…

Oxidative stress and dysregulation of antioxidant systems are associated with various complications in pregnancy. Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disease that affects women of reproductive age. Recent studies have indicated that oxida…

Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder, affecting up to 10% of women of childbearing age, characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue at ectopic positions generally within the peritoneum. It is a heritable cond…

The present study aimed to investigate the role and mechanisms of microRNA (miR)‑33b in endometriosis (Ems). Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR), MTT assays, flow cytometry, caspase‑3/9 activity assays and…
