Chemical modifications of RNA add a dynamic regulatory layer to gene expression beyond the genome and epigenome. Among these modifications, 5-methylcytidine (m5C) has emerged as a key epitranscriptomic modification that influences RNA stabi…

Pseudouridine (Ψ), the most abundant RNA modification, plays essential roles in shaping RNA structure, stability, and translational output. Beyond cancer, Ψ is dynamically regulated across numerous physiological and pathological contexts-in…

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous and highly persistent environmental contaminants. Human exposure occurs through multiple routes, including dietary ingestion, water consumption, inhalation, and dermal contact, posing sus…

This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem ce…

Pseudouridylation, the most abundant RNA modification, plays a critical role in modulating RNA structure, stability, and function. Among the family of pseudouridine synthases, Pseudouridine Synthase 7 (PUS7) has recently gained attention fo…

Gynecological disorders encompass a diverse array of conditions that affect the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, vagina, and external genitalia [...].

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most common benign gynecologic tumours affecting women of reproductive age. This study aims to deepen the understanding of UFs complex aetiology through harnessing the power of 3D organoid models derived from …

The period during which tissue and organ development occurs is particularly vulnerable to the influence of environmental exposures. However, the specific mechanisms through which biological pathways are disrupted in response to developmenta…

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are common tumors in women of reproductive age. It is imperative to comprehend UFs' associated risk factors to facilitate early detection and prevention. Simple relying on surgical/pharmacological treatment of advance…

Leiomyomas (LMs) are the most frequent uterine benign tumors, representing the leading cause of hysterectomy indications worldwide. They are highly associated with women's reproductive complications, and endocrine disruptors may influence t…

Uterine fibroids (UFs; leiomyoma) are the most common benign neoplastic threat to women worldwide, exacting an immense personal burden on female health and a monetary expense to the healthcare system estimated in the hundreds of billions of…

Uterine fibroids are benign monoclonal neoplasms of the myometrium, representing the most common tumors in women worldwide. To date, no long-term or noninvasive treatment option exists for hormone-dependent uterine fibroids, due to the limi…

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are monoclonal, benign tumors that contain abnormal smooth muscle cells and the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Although benign, UFs are a major source of gynecologic and reproductive dysfunction, ranging …

CONTEXT: Uterine fibroids (UF) are the most common benign tumor of the myometrium (MM) in women of reproductive age. However, the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of UF is largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: To explore the link between nuclea…

Abstract Endometriosis and uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are benign gynecological disorders affecting 5-15% of women of reproductive age. They cause a wide range of symptoms including mild to severe pelvic pain and infertility. Due to a pau…

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are benign tumors that arise from a single genetically altered mesenchymal stem cell under the influence of gonadal hormones. UFs are the most common benign gynecologic tumors in premenopausal women worldwide. It is e…

BACKGROUND: Uterine Fibroids (UFs) growth is ovarian steroid-dependent. Previous studies have shown that estrogen and progesterone play an important role in UF development. However, the mechanism underlying progesterone induced UF pathogene…
