Infertility and ovarian ageing are increasingly acknowledged as illnesses affected not just by endocrine decline but also by chronic inflammatory stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in the reproductive milieu. The cGAS-STING signalling pat…

Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with infertility in up to half of those diagnosed. Despite decades of research, the molecular basis of its reproductive consequences remains poorly defin…

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) has significant hurdles due to individual differences in ovarian response during controlled ovarian stimulation. The Asn680Ser polymorphism of the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) is linked to varyin…

Oxidative stress is a fundamental mechanism that impacts reproductive function by altering gamete quality, fertilisation, and the initial development of embryos. Excessive reactive oxygen species lead to the oxidation of polyunsaturated fat…

The functional deterioration of granulosa cells (GCs), essential for follicular growth, steroidogenesis, and oocyte competence, indicates ovarian aging and reduced fertility. An expanding corpus of research indicates that oxidative stress i…

Oocyte formation occurs successfully within a meticulously controlled follicular environment characterized by well-documented endocrine, metabolic, and paracrine signals. Yet, the immunological landscape of the follicle and its role in infl…

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been suggested as a supplementary approach for endometrial preparation in IVF. Clinical results continue to be inconsistent. This narrative review synthesises molecular and clinical informat…

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety, efficacy, and clinical outcomes of the vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) technique in patients suffering from gynecological cancer. Methods: A syst…

The success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and female reproductive capacity are significantly determined by oocyte quality. Increasing data highlights the significance of oxidative stress-a state of imbalance between reactive oxygen specie…

Background: Elastography is an ultrasound-based imaging technology that allows for quantitative measurement of tissue stiffness and elasticity. In reproductive medicine, it is a potential non-invasive method for assessing ovarian activity, …

Background: Epigenetic modifications have an important role in controlling ovarian function, modulating ovarian response and implantation success in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). The alterations, such as DNA methylation and non-…

Exosomal microRNAs (ex-miRs), encapsulated in extracellular vesicles (EVs), play a vital role in facilitating paracrine communication among granulosa cells (GCs), cumulus cells (CCs), and the oocyte inside follicular fluid (FF). These small…

Background/Objectives: Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is the process by which epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal properties, which helps endometriotic cells migrate and invade. This study looks at the expression of E-CADHERIN, a …

Ferroptosis is a novel kind of regulated cell death that occurs when redox equilibrium is disrupted, leading to iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is defined by the buildup of deleterious lipid hydroperoxides, the inactivation o…

Numerous infants have been conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Increasing evidence indicates that these approaches induce minor alterations in molecules during the initial phases of …

Background: Endometrial receptivity is crucial for successful embryo implantation in assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). MicroRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as important post-…

Endometriosis impairs fertility by interfering with ovarian function, embryonic development, and endometrial receptivity. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are recognised as non-invasive biomarkers that may indicate biological processes based on…

The reduction in oocyte competence and ovarian reserve coincides with reproductive ageing; nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Our testable mechanistic hypothesis is that the oxidative…

Background/objectivesApproximately 50% of infertility cases are attributable to male factors; yet conventional semen examination can not identify the molecular abnormalities that hinder sperm functionality. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) deri…

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) is an important modulator of ovarian physiology, which contributes to angiogenesis, steroidogenesis, and redox control. The stable metabolites nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) may indicate real-time follicular…

BackgroundObesity is a complicated, chronic condition that has a major impact on reproductive health, leading to infertility, anovulation, and poor pregnancy outcomes. It alters the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, promotes insuli…

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in follicular fluid (FF) are being recognized as important regulators of ovarian function and biomarkers of reproductive success. This systematic analysis investigates FF-derived miRNAs and their relationship …

Nitric oxide (NO) predominantly regulates endometrial receptivity, angiogenesis, immunological tolerance, and trophoblast invasion throughout the implantation period. Both insufficient and excessive nitric oxide production have been linked …

Background/Objectives: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a disorder that affects women under the age of 40. It is characterized by decreased ovarian function, elevated gonadotropin levels, and decreased estradiol. SARS-CoV-2 disrupts…

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of the vaginal natural-orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) approach in gynecology for obese patients. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, …
