Advances in endometriosis research: animal models for the study of reproductive disorders

Abstract Endometriosis (EMS) is a significant contributor to female infertility, with its underlying mechanisms remaining inadequately understood. Animal models serve as essential tools for investigating disease progression and evaluating treatment options. This article reviews the advancements in research involving animal models, including non-human primates and rodents, in the development of EMS-related infertility models. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in understanding the mechanisms of infertility related to endometriosis in animal models. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers seeking guidance in choosing suitable animal models for investigations on the pathogenesis and pharmacological treatment of this condition.
