Ferroptosis, a new type of non-apoptotic cell death modality, is different from other modes of cell death and has been primarily found in tumor cells. Previous studies have reported that ferroptosis can be triggered by specific modulators (…
BackgroundBesides binding to proteins, the most recent advances in pharmacogenomics indicate drugs can regulate the expression of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). The polypharmacological feature in drugs enables us to find new uses for existing dr…
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are gene expression regulators and changes in miRNA levels are associated with diabetes, insulin resistance, and inflammation, the latter two of which are characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The purpose of…
IntroductionAssisted reproductive technology (ART) and previous Cesarean section (CS) are independently associated with the risk of adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes in general. Few studies have focused on the association between adv…
