Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been implicated in female reproductive toxicity, while its long-term effects of prenatal exposure remain unclear. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive NHANES analysis to estimate the Hazard Ratio (HR) of ea…

The relationship between hyperprolactinemia and gut microbiota remains unclear at present. This study employs a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to assess the potential causal links between gut microbiota and the incidence of hyperprol…

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common chronic pain condition characterized primarily by the presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). While the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is known to be upregulated in injured m…

The endometrium, essential for reproduction, undergoes cyclical shedding, remodeling, and regeneration. Using a large endometrial transcriptomic dataset (n = 206), we identified RNA splicing and transcript isoform-level changes across the m…

BackgroundRetroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy (REP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, in which fertilised eggs are implanted in the retroperitoneal cavity. Due to its atypical location and non-specific symptoms, REP is often misdiagnosed, …

Human endo-lysosomes possess a class of proteins called TPC channels on their membrane, which are essential for proper cell functioning. This protein family can be functionally studied by expressing them in plant vacuoles. Inhibition of hTP…

BACKGROUND: Major challenges in understanding the functional consequences of genetic risk factors for human disease are which tissues and cell types are affected and the limited availability of suitable tissue. The aim of this study was to …

STUDY QUESTION: Are genetic effects on endometrial gene expression tissue specific and/or associated with reproductive traits and diseases? SUMMARY ANSWER: Analyses of RNA-sequence data and individual genotype data from the endometrium iden…
