Infertility and ovarian ageing are increasingly acknowledged as illnesses affected not just by endocrine decline but also by chronic inflammatory stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in the reproductive milieu. The cGAS-STING signalling pat…

Oxidative stress is a fundamental mechanism that impacts reproductive function by altering gamete quality, fertilisation, and the initial development of embryos. Excessive reactive oxygen species lead to the oxidation of polyunsaturated fat…

The functional deterioration of granulosa cells (GCs), essential for follicular growth, steroidogenesis, and oocyte competence, indicates ovarian aging and reduced fertility. An expanding corpus of research indicates that oxidative stress i…

The success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and female reproductive capacity are significantly determined by oocyte quality. Increasing data highlights the significance of oxidative stress-a state of imbalance between reactive oxygen specie…

Ferroptosis is a novel kind of regulated cell death that occurs when redox equilibrium is disrupted, leading to iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is defined by the buildup of deleterious lipid hydroperoxides, the inactivation o…

Numerous infants have been conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Increasing evidence indicates that these approaches induce minor alterations in molecules during the initial phases of …

Endometriosis impairs fertility by interfering with ovarian function, embryonic development, and endometrial receptivity. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are recognised as non-invasive biomarkers that may indicate biological processes based on…

The reduction in oocyte competence and ovarian reserve coincides with reproductive ageing; nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Our testable mechanistic hypothesis is that the oxidative…

Background/objectivesApproximately 50% of infertility cases are attributable to male factors; yet conventional semen examination can not identify the molecular abnormalities that hinder sperm functionality. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) deri…
