Gastric metastasis from breast cancer (GMBC) is a rare but diagnostically challenging condition, whose clinical and imaging features often mimic primary gastric cancer or treatment-related adverse effects. This study integrates a detailed c…
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a class of chemical substances with environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and high toxicity, which are widely present in the environment and food chains. Prostate cancer (PCa) is a highly preva…
Infertility affects ~1 in 6 people of reproductive age and remains difficult to treat because causes are heterogeneous and diagnostics are incomplete. Recent evidence reframes the female reproductive tract as a low-biomass but biologically …
BACKGROUND: Ovarian ectopic pregnancy (OEP) is a rare and life-threatening condition that is typically diagnosed post-rupture. Its diagnosis and management become more complex when it is concurrent with ovarian endometrioma, as the latter m…
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, repeated oocyte retrieval cycles are often necessary for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). It has been hypothesized that the mechanical stimulation from the initial oocyte pick-up (OPU) proced…
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a rare type of tumor originating from peptidergic neurons and neuroendocrine cells, which exhibit neuroendocrine differentiation and neuroendocrine marker expression. NENs can occur in any part of the bod…
Protein lipidation, a pivotal post-translational modification, dynamically regulates cellular signaling, membrane trafficking, and protein stability, with emerging roles in reproductive physiology. However, the systematic understanding of h…
BACKGROUND: Protein palmitoylation is a significant post-translational modification that influences protein stability, localization, and signaling through the addition of palmitoyl groups to cysteine, serine/threonine, or lysine residues. I…
ABSTRACT: Endometriosis is a disease where cells similar to those of the uterine lining grow outside of the uterus, embedding into tissues and organs in the abdominal cavity, forming lesions and causing pain and infertility. Previous studie…
Minimally invasive thermal ablation therapies, including microwave ablation (MWA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA), have emerged as effective alternatives to traditional surgical approaches for the management of symptomatic uterine fibroid…
To mark 5 years of Cell Genomics, we asked authors across China to reflect on their research and the field of genomics. Together, these voices reflect on their findings, publishing, belonging to a community, and what shape the field's next …
Vitamin D has attracted increasing attention in male reproduction, male fertility, and sperm function, but its pharmacological relevance remains incompletely defined. This review synthesizes current evidence on the molecular mechanisms and …
Recent advancements in tissue clearing and three-dimensional (3D) visualization technologies have enabled subcellular-level examination of entire organs, particularly in complex structures such as the ovary and uterus. Traditional histologi…
The management of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is rapidly evolving, with immune checkpoint inhibitors emerging as a prominent treatment approach. However, drug development targeting specific molecular and cellular abnormalities in NPC has sl…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is widely acknowledged as the prevailing reproductive endocrine disorder accompanied by numerous metabolic dysfunctions. However, there has been a lack of systematic examination regarding the ami…
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Female bladder pain syndrome (FBPS), previously known as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). Numerous research indirectly prove that Female bladder pain syndrome (FBPS) is associated with immun…
OBJECTIVE: To propose a prediction model aimed at increasing the live birth rate of patients undergoing two-cell embryo transfer while eliminating multiple pregnancy complications. METHODS: Women who underwent their first In Vitro Fertiliz…
BACKGROUND: Spontaneous abortion has been associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), while the evidence remains equivocal. This study aimed to examine the association between spon…
This study investigates the effects of astaxanthin on oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and follicular development in mouse preantral follicles, with a focus on the involvement of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase…
INTRODUCTION: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare malignant tumor of the uterus, characterized by slow growth. Early-stage LGESS is associated with favorable survival, but it has a high recurrence rate. The primary treat…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder that significantly impacts women of reproductive age. Recent evidence suggests a bidirectional link between endometriosis and brain functional networks, though the causal mecha…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS), a well-recognized chronic inflammatory disorder, characterized by significant immune dysregulation, in which myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are essential for facilitating immunosuppression and driv…
Curcumin, the principal bioactive compound derived from turmeric, possesses a wide range of therapeutic properties such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. Recent studies suggest that curcumin may alleviate HMGB…
BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from umbilical cord blood (UCB) exhibit significant therapeutic efficacy in endometriosis; however, the molecular mechanisms governing their regulation remain incompletely elucidated. This …
