Wnt4, Wnt6 and β-catenin expression in human placental tissue - is there a link with first trimester miscarriage? Results from a pilot study.
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/s12958-022-00923-4

BackgroundDemystifying the events around early pregnancy is challenging. A wide network of mediators and signaling cascades orchestrate the processes of implantation and trophoblast proliferation. Dysregulation of these pathways could be im…

The impact of vascular endothelial growth factor single nucleotide polymorphisms in the development and severity of endometriosis: A systematic review of the literature
Journal of gynecology obstetrics and human reproduction ·doi:10.1016/j.jogoh.2020.101732

ObjectiveTo review the impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene in the development and severity of endometriosis.Search strategyWe searched Medline, Scopus, Clinicaltrials.gov, E…

A potential role of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 (p21/WAF1) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis: Directions for future research
Medical hypotheses ·doi:10.1016/j.mehy.2019.109414

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder that affects approximately 6-10% of the female population impairing the quality of life of patients. Several pathophysiologic pathways have been proposed as potential regulators of its severi…

Expression of antiapoptosis gene survivin in luteinized ovarian granulosa cells of women undergoing IVF or ICSI and embryo transfer: clinical correlations.
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-10-74

BackgroundThe purpose of the study was to determine the incidence of survivin gene expression in human granulosa cells during ovarian stimulation in Greek women with normal FSH levels, undergoing IVF or ICSI and to discover any correlation …

Early hCG addition to rFSH for ovarian stimulation in IVF provides better results and the cDNA copies of the hCG receptor may be an indicator of successful stimulation.
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-7-110

A simple, safe and cost-effective treatment protocol in ovarian stimulation is of great importance in IVF practice, especially in the case of previous unsuccessful attempts. hCG has been used as a substitute of LH because of the degree of h…

"hCG priming" effect in controlled ovarian stimulation through a long protocol.
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-7-91

BackgroundRecently, it has been demonstrated that, in patients down-regulated by GnRH analogues (GnRHa), a short-term pre-treatment with recombinant LH (rLH), prior to recombinant FSH (rFSH) administration, increases the number of small ant…
