Role of microRNAs in embryo–endometrial interactions: biological functions and clinical applications
The human endometrium and embryo both produce microRNAs (miRNAs), which are involved in various physiological activities. Accumulating evident suggested that endometrial miRNAs are regulated by steroid hormones that modulate endometrial fun…

We report herein a novel mechanism, unraveled by proteomics and validated by in vitro and in vivo studies, of the aberrant aging-associated upregulation of ovarian transferrin and ferritin in rat ovaries. The ovarian mass and serum estradio…

Tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the most common cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester of pregnancy; however, its etiology is uncertain. In EP, embryo retention within the Fallopian tube (FT) is thought to be due to impaired smo…
