ObjectiveAdvanced gastric cancer remains highly refractory to therapy, with limited immunotherapy efficacy due to tumor microenvironment heterogeneity. Primary cilia, microtubule-based organelles involved in tumor progression, remain insuff…
BackgroundImpaired decidualization is associated with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is known to play an important role in decidua formation. However, the specific impact of LPA in endometrial deciduali…
Endometriosis is a long-term health problem that affects a significant number of women globally. Among the various forms of endometriosis, ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is the most prevalent. This research aimed to investigate the factors con…
Infertility is an increasingly prevalent global health issue affecting millions of couples. It can arise from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, reproductive disorders, and anatomical abnormalities. While numerous treatment opt…
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a common, heterogeneous disorder that affects up to 3.5% of women under 40 years of age and is defined by oligo/amenorrhoea, hypo-oestrogenism, and markedly elevated gonadotrophin levels. POI substan…
Abnormal development of granulosa cells is widely recognized as a critical factor contributing to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the precise etiology and underlying mechanisms of this disorder remain largely elusive. Accumulatin…
Abnormal apoptosis both maintains endometrial cell growth and induces endometrial pathogenesis. The etiology of endometriosis is unclear and no treatment is curative. Therefore, the aim herein was to identify genes involved in the pathogene…
BackgroundMenstrual cycle characteristics are potential indicators of hormonal exposures and may also signal cardiovascular disease risk factors, both of which are relevant to cognitive health. However, there is scarce epidemiological evide…
Abstract Background/Objectives: To study the molecular classification of endometrial cancer combined with adenomyosis and compare its differences in molecular classification and clinicopathological characteristics with endometriosis ade…
Rising rates of infertility have stimulated interest in dietary supplements to improve oocyte quality through mitochondrial function, antioxidant activity, and epigenetically regulated metabolic pathways. Mitochondria provides adenosine tri…
Human Methyltransferase-like 16(METTL16) is an independent N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase. Previous studies have proven METTL16 been linked with some types of cancers. However, comparative studies of the relevance of METTL16 acr…
Study questionCan third-generation sequencing (TGS)-based polar body (PB) analysis serve as a viable alternative to conventional trophectoderm (TE) biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A)?Summary answerThis study d…
Crystals or stones within the gallbladder wall in patients with gallbladder stones (GBS) have been occasionally reported, but their clinical features and aetiology remain unclear. This retrospective study analysed 323 consecutive patients w…
IntroductionThis study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying cervical precancerous lesions by employing bioinformatic approaches to identify key genes and signaling pathways.MethodsA comprehensive strategy was adopted, begi…
Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic gynecological disease that poses significant challenges for treatment due to its extensive lesions, diverse morphology, unknown etiology, and tendency for recurrence. In the early 21st century, the stem …
Endometriosis is a benign disease with similar characteristics to tumors. Recent studies have found that the erythropoietin-producing hepatoma receptor A2 (EphA2) has the dual effect of promoting tumor and inhibiting tumor. The objective of…
Background: Ovarian cysts are common in reproductive-aged women and may affect ovarian reserve, thereby impacting fertility potential. This study aimed to evaluate the differential impact of various ovarian cyst types and sizes on ovarian r…
Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a rare corneal disease that can lead to permanent visual impairment. Its incidence is relatively low when compared with that of other forms of infectious keratitis. As early clinical diagnosis of AK is challen…
Macrophages are multifunctional immune cells distributed throughout the whole body, and they have functions in antigen presentation, phagocytosis, killing, and immune regulation. As the most widely studied molecule in the netrin family, net…
Macrophage metabolic reprogramming refers to the process by which macrophages adjust their physiological pathways to meet survival and functional demands in different immune microenvironments. This involves a range of metabolic pathways, in…
Lipidomics, an emerging field in medical research, has deepened our understanding of lipid metabolism, signal transduction pathways, and intercellular communication through qualitative and quantitative analyses of patient lipid profiles. It…
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a severe complication of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, characterized by increased capillary permeability.Vascular endothelial growth fact…
The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics and etiology of endometrial hyperemia in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) through two complementary approaches: clinical data analysis to characterize endometrial hyp…
Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) contribute to breast cancer (BC) progression, and aquaporin 9 (AQP9) plays a critical role in tumor development. However, the interactions between TANs and AQP9 in BC are poorly understood. Bioinformatics…
STUDY QUESTION: What molecular mechanisms underlie the decline in ovarian reserve as the number and quality of oocytes decrease in patients with ovarian endometriomas (OEM)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Elevated expression of the let-7 micro(mi)RNAs in…
