Abstract Endometriosis is an invasive disease, and a leading cause of pain, infertility and disability among women, with an incidence 10 fold that of cancer. A more complete understanding of disease pathogenesis is essential for the develop…
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a common reproductive problem affecting around 5% of couples worldwide. At present, about half of RPL cases remained unexplained. Previous studies have suggested an important role for genetic determinants i…
BACKGROUND: Puerarin is a root extract of Pueraria lobate that can alleviate the behavioral disorders and could be therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the underlying mechanism of puerarin in PTSD is unclear, so, we h…
BACKGROUND: The immune mechanism was shown to be involved in the development of adenomyosis. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the expression of the immune checkpoints B7-H2, B7-H3, B7-H4 and PD-L2 in adenomyosis and to explore t…
