Endometriosis (EMS) is a common gynecological condition with apparent heterogeneity, lack of diagnostic markers, and unclear pathogenesis. A series of bioinformatics methods were employed to explore EMS's pathological mechanisms and potential biomarkers by analyzing the combined datasets of EMS (GSE7305, GSE7307, GSE58198, E-MTAB-694), which included 34 normal, 127 eutopic, and 46 ectopic endometrium samples. Then, wet-laboratory experiments (including Western blot, qRT-PCR, and Immunohistochemistry, Immunofluorescence, CCK-8, EdU, Wound healing, Transwell, and Adhesion assays) were applied to examine the biomarkers' expression and function in primary endometrial stromal cells...
