IntroductionDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is known to reduce the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Acupuncture maybe effective for DOR, but current e…

BackgroundAs the global population ages, pancreatitis in older adults has become a public health issue. Nonetheless, detailed information on its global impact and changing patterns is limited. We sought to explore the epidemiological trends…

IntroductionAlthough advanced paternal age (APA) is increasingly scrutinized in reproductive medicine, its independent impact on embryo development and clinical outcomes remains contentious, particularly when controlling for maternal age an…

Many endocrine-disrupting chemicals have been linked to impaired ovarian function and fertility. However, most research has focused on small numbers of known chemicals in blood or urine. We aimed to measure the untargeted chemical exposome …

Junction plakoglobin (JUP) is a critical cell adhesion molecule implicated in mediating cell-cell adhesion. Cancer, characterized by the loss of normal cellular regulation, results in unchecked proliferation and the breakdown of cell-cell j…

Fertility in women decreases with age, but the molecular basis for age-related, unexplained infertility remains elusive. Here, we reveal distinct transcriptome changes in oocytes and surrounding cumulus cells from women in their mid-thirtie…

IntroductionPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition characterized by ovarian dysfunction occurring before the age of 40, and its etiology is multifactorial, including genetic, immunological, infectious, environmental, and iatro…

Ovarian reserve is an important determinant of a woman's reproductive potential, and women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) often seek in vitro fertilization (IVF). The underlying etiology of DOR is unknown, but follicular fluid cytoki…

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and the related characteristics of oligomenorrhea among women within childbearing age in China.Study designA large-scale community-based investigation was conducted from 2013 to 2015. A total of 12,964…

BackgroundThe role of γδ T cells, innate-like lymphocytes with unrestrained MHC, in various malignancies has recently been extensively studied. However, there is limited research regarding γδ T cells in ovarian cancer (OC) patients.MethodsH…

Current screening tests for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer (OC) face enduring challenges. However, microRNAs (miRNAs) are stable in the circulation and may be promising molecular biomarkers for OC prediction. Circulating miRNA expression p…

Retinoids are essential for ovarian steroid production and oocyte maturation in mammals. Oocyte competency is known to positively correlate with efficient gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) among granulosa cells in the cumulus-…

Retinol (ROL) and its biologically active metabolite, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), are essential for a number of reproductive processes. However, there is a paucity of information regarding their roles in ovarian folliculogenesis, oocyte…
