BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) significantly impairs female fertility and poses substantial health risks; however, its pathogenesis is incompletely understood, and effective therapeutic interventions are limited. Although…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the clinical predictors of achieving a clinical pregnancy differ between fresh and frozen embryo transfer cycles in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) undergoing their first ART treatment af…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological inflammatory disease that depends on estrogen. Its chief symptoms include dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, reduced fertility, and pelvic masses. Although various hormonal therapies and surgical treat…

Organoids are three-dimensional multicellular structures derived from stem cells or primary tissues that recapitulate key structural and functional features of native organs. Advances in stem cell biology, biomaterials, and bioengineering h…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive disorders in women and severely impairs fertility. Extant clinical studies can only provide indirect and plausible evidence to support endometrial dysfunction as an ova…

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…

Granulosa cell (GC) dysfunction contributes to diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). We collected GC and follicular fluid samples from the patients of normal ovarian reserve (NOR) and DOR. RNA-seq of GCs showed that cholesterol/sterol metabolis…

Hormonal contraceptives (HCs) are commonly prescribed medications that have had immeasurable impacts on quality of life and health of women and families globally. However, usage of exogenous hormones is not without risks, and patients often…

Foshou San (FSS), which is a traditional Chinese compound formula. So far, a variety of components have been isolated and identified from its complex composition. These findings endow it with diverse pharmacological activities. According to…

Danggui Shaoyao San (DSS), a classical multi-herbal formulation of traditional Chinese medicine, demonstrates therapeutic potential for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This re…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, often leading to chronic pain and infertility. Despite its high prevalence, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understo…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent benign gynecological disorder characterized by dysmenorrhea and infertility, significantly impacting women's health and quality of life. Currently, the pathogenesis of EMs remains incompletely elucidated. …

BACKGROUND: The sirtuin family is well recognized for its crucial involvement in various cellular processes. Nevertheless, studies on its role in the human endometrium are limited. This study aimed to explore the expression and localization…

Objective To evaluate the underlying pharmacodynamics and therapeutic mechanism of Shaofuzhuyu Decoction (SFZYD) in treating Endometriosis (EMs). Methods Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (U…

BACKGROUND: Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) is a rare benign tumor that can develop at any site of the urinary system, with the bladder being the most common, followed by the urethra, ureters, renal pelvises, etc. Currently, it is unclear what the…

Ovarian fibrosis, characterized by the excessive proliferation of ovarian fibroblasts and the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), serves as one of the primary causes of ovarian dysfunction. Despite the critical role of ovarian fibro…

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a complex multifactorial disease. Recently, the microbiota of the female reproductive tract, as an emerging factor in RSA, has gradually attracted the attention of many clinical researchers. Here, we …

INTRODUCTION: Endometrial thickness is an important parameter to evaluate endometrial receptivity. An appropriate endometrial thickness is necessary for both embryo implantation and maintaining normal pregnancy. Women with thin endometrium …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes vital proteins and RNAs for the normal functioning of the mitochondria. Mutations in mtDNA leading to mitochondrial dysfunction are relevant to a large spectrum of diseases, including fertility disorders. S…

In addition to the great growing need for assisted reproduction technologies (ART), additional solutions for patients without functional gametes are strongly needed. Due to ethical restrictions, limited studies can be performed on human gam…

BACKGROUND: Initially identified as suppressors of metastasis in various types of cancer, kisspeptins are a family of neuropeptides that are key regulators of the mammalian reproductive axis. Accumulating evidence has shown that kisspeptin …
