Abstract Background Endometriosis is a complex, estrogen-dependent disease with a strong genetic component. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple susceptibility loci, most associated variants reside in non…

The human endometrium undergoes dynamic cyclical remodeling across the menstrual cycle to establish receptivity for embryo implantation. While microRNAs are established regulators of endometrial function and embryo–maternal communication, t…

Increasing infertility rates represent a growing medical challenge in modern societies resulting from a complex interplay of sociocultural trends, lifestyle factors, exposure to environmental toxins, and underlying health problems. Women's …

The human endometrium is a highly dynamic tissue. Increasing evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRs) play essential roles in human endometrium development. Our previous assay, based on small RNA-sequencing (sRNA-seq) indicated the complexi…

Embryo implantation depends on endometrial receptivity (ER). To achieve ER, the preparation of the uterine lining requires controlled priming by ovarian hormones and the expression of numerous genes in the endometrial tissue. microRNAs (miR…
