We found an increased expression of the TAGLN gene in endometriotic lesions compared with the eutopic endometrium of the same patients by real-time polymerase chain reaction. It is possible that this deregulation contributes to the development and maintenance of endometriosis by being involved in the pathways of organization of cytoskeletal architecture.

Endometriosis is a chronic disorder in which endometrial-like tissue presents outside the uterus. Patients with endometriosis have been shown to exhibit aberrant immune responses within the lesion microenvironment and in circulation which contribute to the development of endometriosis. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an alarmin involved in cell proliferation and the induction of T helper 2 (Th2) inflammation in various diseases, such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, and pancreatic and breast cancer.

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite its prevalence and significant impact on women's health, the underlying mechanisms driving the invasive and migratory behavior of endometriotic cells remain incompletely understood. Actin-binding proteins (ABPs) play a critical role in cytoskeletal dynamics, regulating processes such as cell migration, adhesion, and invasion, all of which are essential for the progression of endometriosis.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign disease characterized by the development of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. This intricate ailment markedly affects a patient's well-being and lacks a definitive cure. Endometriotic cells enhance their viability by modulating genetic and epigenetic characteristics, with mitochondria being important organelles in determining cellular metabolic pathways.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether cases of placenta previa and low-lying placenta previa in patients with retroverted uterus are significantly associated with endometriosis.
Methods: Participants were patients who underwent cesarean section at our hospital with a diagnosis of placenta previa or low-lying placenta previa within a 7-year period from January 2015 to December 2022. Of these, patients with multiple pregnancies and those without a complete uterine image in the medical record at less than 12 weeks' gestation were excluded.
