TLDR
Understanding of the control of hemoglobin, heme, and iron-induced redox balance in endometriosis led us to propose a number of hypotheses to explain why oxidative stress is induced in case of pelvic endometiosis.

Pathogenesis of endometriosis: the genetic/epigenetic theory

TL;DR: The genetic epigenetic theory is compatible with all observations on endometriosis and a polygenetic/polyepigenetic mechanism is proposed to explain the hereditary aspects, the predisposition, and the endometiosis-associated changes in theendometrium, immunology, and placentation.

Pathogenesis of deep endometriosis.

TL;DR: In conclusion the pathophysiology of deep endometriosis remains debated and the mechanisms of disease progression, as well as the role of genetics and epigenetics in the process, still needs to be unraveled.

The rise of oxygen in Earth’s early ocean and atmosphere

TL;DR: The initial increase of O2 in the atmosphere, its delayed build-up in the ocean, its increase to near-modern levels in the sea and air two billion years later, and its cause-and-effect relationship with life are among the most compelling stories in Earth’s history.
