Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Endometriosis (EM) is characterized by the growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic inflammation and pelvic pain. Lesion proliferation, vascularization, and associated inflammation are the hallmark features of EM lesions. The legalization of recreational cannabinoids has garnered interest in the patient community and is contributing to a greater incidence of self medication; however, it remains unknown if cannabinoids possess marked disease-modifying properties. In this study, we assess the effects of synthetic cannabinoid, WIN 55212-2 (WIN 55), in EM-representative in vitro and in vivo syngeneic mouse models. WIN 55 reduced proliferation and angiogenesis in vitro, via MAPK/Akt-mediated apoptosis. These findings were corroborated in a mouse model of EM, where we found reduced TRPV1 expression in the dorsal root ganglia of the EM mouse model exposed to WIN 55, suggesting reduced signaling of pain stimuli. Ultimately, these pieces of evidence support the use of cannabinoid receptor agonists as a potential therapeutic intervention for EM associated pain and inflammation.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
