Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy, with prognosis limited by extensive resistance to platinum-based therapy. Although the pregnane X receptor (PXR) has been implicated in chemoresistance, the u…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder in which inflammatory and immune responses play a crucial role in its development and progression. This study aimed to identify potential inflammation-related biomarkers for the diagnosis and…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for adenomyosis and to identify independent prognostic factors associated with postoperative recurrence. METHODS: A total of 200 adenomyosis pati…

BackgroundPeritoneal malignancies (PM) represent a group of highly heterogeneous tumors associated with poor prognosis and limited effective treatment options. Recent studies have demonstrated significant progress in understanding the tumor…

Whether and how endometrial aging affects fertility remains unclear. In our in-house clinical cohort at the Center for Reproductive Medicine of Peking University Third Hospital (n = 1,149), we observed adverse pregnancy outcomes in the midd…

BackgroundOvarian sex cord-stromal tumors (OSCSTs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of ovarian neoplasms, encompassing various subtypes such as ovarian thecoma, fibroma (including cellular fibroma), and ovarian granulosa cell tumors (OGCT…

The increased risk of infertility and endometrial lesions (such as endometrial hyperplasia or cancer) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are closely associated with the lack of cyclical transformation in the endometrium. However, the under…

The reprogrammed osteogenic phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is considered a critical mechanism of vascular calcification (VC) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Currently, the RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is dec…

BackgroundRecent studies have suggested that cell death may be involved in bone loss or the resolution of inflammation in periodontitis. Immunogenic cell death (ICD), a recently identified cell death pathway, may be involved in the developm…

The endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) plays a notable role in pathological vascular remodeling. Emerging evidence indicated that long non-coding RNA-regulator of reprogramming (linc-ROR) can p…

The microbiota, intensely intertwined with mammalian physiology, significantly impacts health, productivity, and reproductive functions. The normal microbiota interacts with the host through the following key mechanisms: acting as a protect…

As a type of cell apoptosis, anoikis is caused by cells detachment from the extracellular matrix and anoikis resistance is central to cancer metastasis. Here, SNCG was identified as hub anoikis-associated gene in GC and associated with prog…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine-related follicular developmental disorder that affects 50 %-70 % of reproductive-aged women diagnosed with ovulation-related infertility. Abnormal proliferation and apoptosis of gra…

Biomechanics is a physical phenomenon which mainly related with deformation and movement of life forms. As a mechanical signal, it participates in the growth and development of many tissues and organs, including ovary. Mechanical signals no…

The use of weekly chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with advanced-stage serous-type epithelial Tubo-ovarian cancer (ETOC), and primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (PPSC) is acceptable as the front-line postoperative chemotherapy af…

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA), fibrosis, and scarring resulting from damage to the endometrium is a rare but serious clinical disease, contributing to a significant impairment of reproductive function. Uterine instrumentation, especially that…

ObjectiveTo seek the clinical significance and regulatory mechanism of miR-135a and Rho-associated protein kinase 1 (ROCK1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsNSCLC cells were purchased, and miR-135a-mimics, miR-135a-inhibitor, mi…

STUDY QUESTION: Does altering gut microbiota with antibiotic treatment have any impact on endometriosis progression? SUMMARY ANSWER: Antibiotic therapy reduces endometriosis progression in mice, possibly by reducing specific gut bacteria. W…

Tussilagone (TSL) is a sesquiterpenoid isolated from Tussilago farfara, which has been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of asthma and bronchitis. It also takes part in the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, but its r…

ObjectiveMouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been demonstrated to differentiate into female endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) in vivo. Our previous studies demonstrated that BMSCs can differentiate in the direction of EE…
