Targeting endometrial stem cell in endometriosis treatment, a scoping review
EnSCs sustain aberrant cellular behaviours in endometriosis. Targeting EnSCs and their related pathways may be an innovative, individualized, and disease-modifying strategy. Pharmacological modulation, gene therapy and exosome are strategies for stem cell inhibition in endometriosis, being a promising avenue for future research leading to application in clinical practice.
