: Endometriosis is a painful chronic condition in which the endometrium grows outside the uterus. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is critical to endometriosis progression, where cells lose epithelial traits and gain invasiveness. : This study investigates the effects of phoenixin-14 (PNX-14), a neuropeptide found at reduced levels in endometriosis patients, on the expression of two molecular EMT markers, CDH1 (E-cadherin) and THBS2 (thrombospondin 2), as well as cell viability in the endometriosis-derived 12Z cell line.

Research Question: Does metformin reverse endometriosis-associated infertility?
Design: Endometriosis was induced by transplanting uterus fragments from B6CBAF1 mice into recipients of the same strain. The mice were divided into groups: endometriosis (End, n = 24), sham-operated (Sham, n = 12), endometriosis with metformin (0.5mg/ml) orally administered for 3 months (EndMet, n = 21) and sham-operated metformin-treated (ShamMet, n = 16).

Currently, hormonal therapy for endometriosis faces challenges in achieving a balance between treatment and preserving the chance of pregnancy. Therefore, the development of non-hormonal therapy holds significant clinical importance. Angiogenesis is a hallmark of endometriosis, and anti-angiogenic therapies targeting the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) pathway are considered potential approaches for endometriosis.

Background: Both intramural myomas and thin endometrium exert a detrimental influence on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The downregulation of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) is regarded as an effective approach to reducing the size of intramural fibroids and enhancing endometrial receptivity. Consequently, we conducted this study to assess whether the GnRH-a combined with hormone replacement therapy (GnRH-a-HRT) can improve reproductive outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles for patients with a thin endometrium (≤7 mm) and intramural fibroids.

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease, involving immune cell infiltration and production of inflammatory mediators. Ferroptosis has recently been recognized as a mode of controlled cell death and the iron overload and peroxidative environment prevailing in the ectopic endometrium facilitates the occurrence of ferroptosis. In the current investigation, gene expression data was obtained from the dataset GSE7305.
