Classical preimplantation embryo culture is performed in static fluid environments. Whether a dynamic fluid environment, like the fallopian tube, is beneficial for embryo development remains to be determined across mammalian species. Object…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the expression of stem cell-related genes in the endometrium (END), superficial endometriosis (SE), and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). STUDY DESIGN: We performed a prospective pilot study of six women suffering…

BackgroundVery few studies have evaluated the expression of homeobox A10 (HOXA10) and steroid (estrogen and progesterone) receptors exclusively in deep endometriosis. Conclusions drawn from studies evaluating peritoneal and ovarian endometr…

Study question: To compare the pregnancy rate in patients submitted to FET (Frozen Embryos Transfer) of cleavage stage embryos (Group 1), or at the blastocyst stage (Group 2). Summary answer: Our data showed that the transfer of frozen blas…

Purposeendometriosis and its associated infertility have been the object of continuous research for over a century. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease, it has become necessary to determine the aspects of its etiol…

Material & Methods: This study aimed to examine the biological implications of progesterone receptor subunits A (PRA) and B (PRB) mRNA expressions by analyzing the pattern of PRB/PRAB ratio in endometrial cells from women with pelvic endome…
