BackgroundChronic endometritis (CE) has been widely recognized as a potential cause of infertility, however, access to effective treatment is a formidable challenge due to the rudimentary understanding of the pathogenesis of persistent CE. …
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a prevalent malignancy; however, the role of kinesin light chain 3 (KLC3) in OC remains unclear. The present study conducted a comprehensive investigation of KLC3 using bioinformatics analysis, as well as in vitro and…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis increases ovarian cancer (OC) risk through genetic mutations, chronic inflammation, and hormonal dysregulation, yet the underlying molecular pathways remain underexplored. This study aims to identify endometriosis-a…
BackgroundEndometrial cancer (EC), a type of uterine cancer, is witnessing a global increase in incidence. Despite advancement in diagnosis and treatment, metastatic or recurrent EC often exhibits a poor prognosis, necessitating novel thera…
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas accompanied with intestinal injury, and effective therapeutic modalities are still highly lacking. Herein, a facile and effective nanotherapeutics (pHA@IBNCs) is dev…
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most lethal malignancy of the urinary system, with limited treatment options due to drug resistance and the adverse effects associated with current therapies. This review aims to systematically examine the …
BACKGROUND: Alarelin acetate, a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue, is widely used to manage endometriosis and hormone-sensitive malignancies. Although its safety profile is generally favorable, we report the first doc…
ObjectiveAnogenital distance (AGD) is a postnatal marker of in utero exposure to androgens and anti-androgens, and a predictor of reproductive health. We examined the association between gestational exposure to phthalates and AGD in male an…
