Endometriosis (EMs) features ectopic implantation of endometrial stromal cells (EESCs) and strong anoikis resistance, yet how inflammatory signals reprogram mitochondrial function remains unclear. Here, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)…
BackgroundThe impact of changes in estradiol (E2) levels prior to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) on pregnancy and live birth outcomes remains poorly understood.ObjectiveTo …
Obesity triggers ovarian dysfunction and female infertility accompanied by granulosa cell damage. Ferroptosis, iron-dependent lipid peroxidation-mediated cell death, participates in multiple reproductive diseases, yet the molecular cascade …
Uterine infertility is a substantial global health challenge, imposing profound physical and emotional burdens on affected individuals, with endometrial injury being a key contributing factor. In this study, we report that platelet-derived …
Endometrioid carcinoma is one of the most prevalent malignant neoplasms in gynecology, in contrast to perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), a rare stromal tumor, which is seldom encountered in the female genital system. The coexiste…
BackgroundThe copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) is a widely used long-term contraceptive method. However, whether prior Cu-IUD use, including long-term exposure, affects reproductive and neonatal outcomes after assisted reproductive techn…
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide, has been implicated in autoimmune diseases, endometriosis, tumors, and primary headaches, including migraine. The development of a novel, fast-acting CGRP receptor antagonist administe…
The central nervous system regulates glandular secretions by modulating visceral organ functions. However, the anatomical and functional connections between the brain and digestive enzyme-producing pancreatic acinar cells remain poorly defi…
BackgroundEndometrial fibrosis can disrupt the uterine junctional zone and lead to infertility. Accurate and noninvasive evaluation of junctional zone alterations is important to clinical treatment. Although conventional T2-weighted imaging…
Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer arising from the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS). Despite growing clinical awareness, its underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully unde…
Interleukin 37 (IL‑37), a member of the IL‑1 family, is recognized as an anti‑inflammatory cytokine. The anti‑inflammatory properties of recombinant human (rh)IL‑37 have been confirmed in vitro and its protective effects have been extensive…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that can cause pelvic adhesions. Severe adhesions increase the difficulty of surgery, resulting in prolonged operation time, increased intraoperative bleeding, and increased complications such…
Massive abdominal wall defects resulting from radical abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) resection present a major reconstructive challenge. This study aims to assess feasibility and short-term safety of a standardized retromuscular-onlay d…
Endometriosis is a benign yet invasive disease characterized by ectopic endometrial growth and immune remodeling. While emerging evidence implicates cellular senescence in disease progression, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefi…
Endometriosis is characterized by progressive fibrosis and limited therapeutic options. Cuproptosis, a copper-dependent form of regulated cell death, has been implicated in multiple pathological conditions, but its relevance to fibroblast-m…
BackgroundDisrupted sleep and shift work are linked to multiple adverse health outcomes, but their association with reproductive endocrine disorders (REDs) and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Understanding this relationship is crucial…
To evaluate the effectiveness of subendometrial autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in improving endometrial thickness (EMT) and pregnancy outcomes in women with refractory thin endometrium. This prospective, single-arm, self-c…
ObjectiveThis study aims to identify the most diagnostically valuable features among the 11 MRI features of Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) described in the joint consensus statement by the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) and the Europ…
BackgroundUnexplained recurrent implantation failure (URIF) represents a complex and challenging condition in reproductive medicine, while the role of non-criteria antiphospholipid syndrome antibodies in its pathogenesis remains unclear. As…
BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) is a key metabolic disturbance that adversely affects assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. In women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), IR has been well documented to impair oocyte quality,…
Long non-coding RNA Urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) is a pivotal regulator in the progression of endometriosis (EMs), yet its mechanistic role remains elusive. This study identified UCA1 as a factor promoting glycolysis through bio…
Endometriosis is a widespread gynecological disorder causing severe pain and infertility, with diagnosis currently relying on slow, costly, and risky laparoscopy. This highlights the critical need for non-invasive imaging diagnostics using …
BackgroundTraditional research on the female reproductive tract (FRT) microbiome has focused on the dominance of bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus, as a marker of health. This bacteriocentric paradigm, however, cannot fully explain clini…
IntroductionTranscription factor EB (TFEB) deficiency contributes to insufficient autophagic degradation, resulting in zymogen granule (ZG) accumulation and subsequent premature activation, which underlies the pathogenesis of alcoholic panc…
BackgroundChronic pelvic pain (CPP) affects 15% of reproductive-aged women, with current treatments showing limited efficacy. This study evaluated whether combining acupuncture with conventional therapy improves outcomes compared to convent…
