In mammalian reproduction, a significant proportion of embryos fail to implant despite a receptive uterus, suggesting that defects in epithelial remodeling at the embryo-uterine interface contribute to implantation failure. The molecular pr…

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus at an ectopic site. It affects around 18% of reproductive-age females worldwide. Currently, endometriosis is diagnosed laparoscopically and is classified into…

HOXA10 belongs to the homeobox gene family and is essential for uterine biogenesis, endometrial receptivity, embryo implantation, and stromal cell decidualization. Available evidence suggests that the expression of HOXA10 is dysregulated in…

Introduction: Homeobox gene A10 ( HOXA10 ) is a transcription factor that plays a key role in maintaining endometrial homeostasis. In women with endometriosis, HOXA10 expression is downregulated, which is thought to cause progesterone resis…

PurposeTo evaluate the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and AMH type II receptor (AMHR2) genes with ovarian response and clinical pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing controlled ova…

Implantation of the embryo is a rate-limiting step for a successful pregnancy, and it requires an intricate crosstalk between the embryo and the endometrium. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed, nano-sized structures produced…

The eutherian species evolved an elaborate uterus to allow viviparity. For successful pregnancy, the uterus must not only be differentiated, but must also function optimally and any defects in uterus differentiation and/or function can lead…

Endometriosis is a common disorder of unknown etiology, and non-surgical therapies are still a challenge. To understand the pathogenesis and preclinical testing of drugs for endometriosis, animal models are highly desirous. Herein, we carri…

PurposeEndometriosis is recognized as a steroid hormone-dependent disorder. However, controversies exist regarding the status of the steroid hormone receptor expression in endometriotic tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine th…

Extracellular vesicles are lipoproteinaceous membrane-enclosed nanometer-sized structures produced by cells and are thought to mediate cellular communications. Loaded with a specific set of miRNA and protein depending on their tissue of ori…

ABSTRACT Endometriosis is a chronic incurable disorder of unknown etiology affecting a large proportion of women in reproductive age. In order to understand the pathogenesis and preclinical testing of drugs,animal models that recapitulate t…

PurposeTo study the regulation and functions of oviductal glycoprotein 1 (OVGP1) in endometrial epithelial cells.MethodsExpression of OVGP1 in mouse endometrium during pregnancy and in the endometrial epithelial cell line (Ishikawa) was stu…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disorder of unknown aetiology. Among the several factors, estrogen has been implicated as a causative factor in endometriosis. In the present study using mouse model, we assessed the role of estrogen…

Infection of the genitourinary tract with Group B Streptococcus (GBS), an opportunistic gram positive pathogen, is associated with premature rupture of amniotic membrane and preterm birth. In this work, we demonstrate that GBS produces memb…

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the association of AZFc subdeletions (gr/gr, b1/b3 and b2/b3) and deletion of DAZ and CDY1 gene copies with male infertilityMethodsThree hundred twelve controls, 172 azoospermic and 343 olig…
