This study aims to explore biomarkers in the endometrial fluid and tissue of women with moderate to severe endometriosis, with a specific focus on those involved in pre-receptive endometrium and embryo implantation. This research has the potential to uncover diagnostic indicators of impaired pre-receptive endometrium, examine pathophysiological pathways, and identify future targets for therapeutic intervention. Ultimately, the findings may contribute to more personalized fertility treatments, offering new hope for women struggling with endometriosis-related infertility.
