Cell-Aging-Related Pathways Linked to Endometriosis Pathogenesis
By Ayse Ayhan
The biology of endometriosis continues to challenge conventional understanding. While inflammation, hormonal imbalance, and immune dysfunction have long been recognized, this new study explores an entirely different dimension—cellular aging. Researchers from Shanghai Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, used a multiomic approach…

Causal links between inflammatory regulators and endometriosis phenotypes
By Eylül GÜN
Endometriosis is believed to be polygenic and multifactorial, involving processes such as angiogenesis, immune responses, hormonal changes, and progesterone resistance. Inflammation is suspected to play a crucial role in its development, potentially creating a microenvironment that supports ectopic endometrial tissue growth.…
