Molecular and Clinical Aspects of Endometriosis Pathophysiology

Dear Colleagues,

Endometriosis is a disease that affects the quality of life and fertility of up to 10% of women worldwide. It is a heterogeneous, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that is characterized by the growth of endometrial-like lesions outside of the uterus and is associated with chronic cyclic pain and reduced fertility. Resolving open questions in the pathophysiology of endometriosis may guide better diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Hence, we are pleased to invite submissions of original research articles and reviews on the topic of our Special Issue entitled “Molecular and Clinical Aspects of Endometriosis Pathophysiology”. We look forward to receiving your contributions that address the pathology of endometriosis and relate findings to the potential for improving clinical practice.
