Summary: The literature highlights the importance of hormonal treatment for symptom relief, reduced surgical complications and postoperative benefits, including a reduction in pain, disease recurrence and improved pregnancy rates. The treatment of endometriosis can be broadly categorized into medical, commonly using hormonal suppression medications and surgical, in which endometriosis tissue is excised or ablated. This review aims to outline current management strategies and examines the relationship between the two treatment modalities.

This study aimed to investigate the role of transforming growth factor-beta 3 (TGF-β3) secreted by adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in suppressing melanin synthesis during the wound healing process, particularly in burn injuries, and to explore the underlying mechanisms involving the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. ADSCs were isolated from C57BL/6 mice and characterized using flow cytometry and differentiation assays. A burn injury model was established in mice, followed by UVB irradiation to induce hyperpigmentation.
