Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometriosis is a common disease in the reproductive system that affects approximately 6–10% of women of reproductive age. It is the presence of endometrial-like endometrial cells, glands, and stroma outside the uterus, resulting in symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful periods, pain with sexual intercourse, and subfertility. Despite the great advances in diagnostics, pharmacology, minimally invasive surgery, and assisted reproduction technologies, endometriosis still represents an unsolved global health issue.
This Special Issue aims to publish advanced research and review articles in order to allow readers have a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing endometriosis and important prerequisites for the development of new therapeutic approaches.
