Endometriosis markedly compromises female fertility, and although endometrial dysfunction likely plays a role in this pathology, its precise mechanistic contributions remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the decidualizat…

BackgroundBreast cancer (BC) continues to be a predominant cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally, highlighting the complexity of the disease, its propensity for metastasis, and resistance to conventional therapies. The discove…

Adenomyosis (AM) is characterized as a chronic and progressive disorder with limited therapeutic strategies available. Myometrial fibrosis is a prominent pathological feature of AM, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Th…

This study explores the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and the risk of endometriosis, aiming to develop a predictive model using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2006) data. The dataset included 4,089 fem…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) exhibits localised iron overload. However, the contribution of ferroptosis to EM pathogenesis remains unclear. We investigated how iron overload affects CD8⁺ T cell immune function and the underlying ferroptot…

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a prevalent malignancy; however, the role of kinesin light chain 3 (KLC3) in OC remains unclear. The present study conducted a comprehensive investigation of KLC3 using bioinformatics analysis, as well as in vitro and…

IntroductionCisplatin resistance is a major challenge in ovarian cancer therapy, particularly for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). DNA topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) relates to cancer drug resistance, yet its role and molecular mechanis…

The periconception period is critical for embryo development, pregnancy outcomes, and offspring health. During this stage, oviductal and uterine fluids facilitate embryo-maternal interactions and support early embryonic development. Using P…

Molecular classification has emerged as a critical tool for guiding personalized treatment in endometrial cancer (EC) and atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH). This retrospective study aimed to assess the impact of molecular classificatio…

BackgroundDifferent endometrial preparation protocols are used prior to frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Optimization of endometrial preparation protocols is mandatory to improve live birth rate and obstetric and perinatal outcomes. In …

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often have decreased fertility. Gene translation is crucial to oocyte meiosis and development. However, it remains unclear how SLE affects this process. Here, we used single-cell transcriptom…

The Body Roundness Index (BRI) is an innovative anthropometric measure reflecting body shape and obesity, increasingly recognized as a potential predictor of infertility, warranting further exploration. This research employed a cross-sectio…

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is associated with an increased risk of adverse fetal outcomes, including fetal morbidity and mortality. It is a complex liver disorder influenced by genetic interactions, estrogen levels, and env…

PURPOSE: To investigate and compare the clinical characteristics and risk factors between intrinsic and extrinsic adenomyosis (AM), as well as the differences in their perioperative management and findings in the two subtypes. METHODS: Thi…

Oxidative stress plays a central role in reproductive disorders, with food bioactive compounds offering therapeutic potential through their antioxidant properties. This review examines antioxidant active ingredients from plant-based foods a…

BACKGROUND: Endosalpingiosis, a rare benign condition characterized by ectopic fallopian tube-like epithelium, often coexists with endometriosis. This case report presents a unique instance of florid cystic endosalpingiosis confined to the …

ImportanceHormonal contraceptive (HC) use is associated with depression. It is, however, unknown whether this is also true in the postpartum period when women have a heightened depression risk and are routinely offered HC treatment.Objectiv…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in the non-uterine cavity, resulting in dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and infertility. Epidemiologic data have suggested the c…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate maternal and perinatal outcomes in women with different adenomyosis phenotypes and to assess the impact of placental attachment site in patients with intrinsic adenomyosis. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study a…

BackgroundEndometrial cancer represents a significant health challenge, with rising incidence and complex prognostic challenges. This study aimed to develop a robust predictive model integrating programmed cell death-related genes and advan…

STUDY QUESTION: Do all ectopic endometrial lesions (endometriosis and adenomyosis) universally have activated estrogen signaling? SUMMARY ANSWER: Estrogen signaling diminishes concordantly with increased fibrosis in ectopic endometrium, wi…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of Perilla Seed Extract (PSE) and its active ingredient on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in vitro and in vivo. Thirty-two C57/BL mice were randomly divided into f…

Natural products, recognized for their potential in disease prevention and treatment, have been integrated with advanced nano-delivery systems to create natural product-based nanomedicines, offering innovative approaches for various disease…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What role, if any, does the extent of lesional fibrosis play in impaired glycolysis leading to adenomyosis-associated heavy menstrual bleeding (ADM-HMB)? DESIGN: Forty-eight patients with ADM-HMB were recruited, among th…

In the field of genetic breeding, primordial germ cells (PGCs) have become essential cells for gene editing and genetic improvement due to their unique developmental potential and genetic characteristics. However, the low proliferation effi…
