PurposeDecidualization is an important event for embryo implantation and successful pregnancy. Impaired decidualization leads to implantation failure and miscarriage. However, it is unclear how often decidualization failure occurs in infert…
PURPOSE: To test the theory that invaginated ovarian surface epithelium and endometrial implants on the ovary form ovarian endometriomas. METHODS: Adhesion sites of ovarian endometrioma on the peritoneum and consecutive ovarian endometriom…
Melatonin is a promising reagent that can improve assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes in infertility patients. However, melatonin is not effective for all infertile patients, and it remains unclear for which patients melatonin w…
Purpose: To identify the upstream regulators (URs) involved in the onset and pathogenesis of ovarian endometrioma. Methods: Recently, a method called SMITE that uses transcriptome data in combination with publicly available data for identif…
PURPOSE: To identify the upstream regulators (URs) involved in the onset and pathogenesis of ovarian endometrioma. METHODS: Recently, a method called Significance-based Modules Integrating the Transcriptome and Epigenome (SMITE) that uses t…
BACKGROUND: In ovarian endometriomas (OE), the expression statuses of various steroid hormone receptors are altered compared with their expression statuses in eutopic endometrium (EE). For example, in OE, the expressions of estrogen recepto…
