Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that is increasingly recognized as a systemic condition with profound implications for female reproductive potential. In addition to pelvic distortion and impaired follicu…
Background: Endometriosis is associated with infertility and impaired assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, potentially due to an altered follicular microenvironment characterized by chronic inflammation. This study investigates …
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Microbiota modification at the endometrial level can favor gynecological diseases and impair women's fertility. The overgrowth of pathogen microorganisms is related to the contemporary alteration of estrogen-metaboliz…
An abnormal endometrial microbiota has been suggested to impair the process of embryo implantation, thus leading to repeated implantation failure (RIF) in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, the molecular mechanisms link…
Oocyte development and fertilization are largely influenced by the microenvironment of the follicular fluid (FF), and the exploration of its molecular/metabolic composition may help in improving in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. Here, …
Endometriosis (EMS) pathogenesis has been related to the release of inflammatory mediators in peritoneal fluid, creating an altered microenvironment that leads to low-grade oocyte/embryos and to the reduction of implantation rates. The Epit…
