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…

Uterine fibroids, the most common tumors in reproductive-age women, remain without a defined precursor tissue state. Unlike cervical dysplasia preceding cervical cancer, or colonic polyps preceding colorectal malignancy, no equivalent "at-r…

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…

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…

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 …

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a bleeding from the uterine corpus that is abnormal in regularity, volume, frequency or duration. It encompasses heavy menstrual bleeding, irregular menstrual bleeding and intermenstrual bleeding, which ar…

The most common malignant gynecologic diseases are cervical, uterine, ovarian, vaginal, and vulvar cancer. Among them, ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. A great number of women suffer…

INTRODUCTION: Uterine fibroids affect 30%-77% of reproductive-age women and are a significant cause of infertility. Surgical myomectomies can restore fertility, but they often have limited and temporary benefits, with postoperative complica…

Current medical treatment options for endometriosis associated pains are inadequate. Evidence on effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is scarce. Around one third of patients are not responsive to oral contraceptives or progestins…

Uterine fibromas are an incredibly common condition, affecting the quality of life of both individuals and the whole society and carrying significant direct and indirect costs. UFs are mostly benign tumors, which in many cases can be treate…

A similar abstract of the interim analysis was previously published in Fertility and Sterility. EPIGALLOCATECHIN GALLATE (EGCG) FOR TREATMENT OF UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY ASSOCIATED WITH UTERINE FIBROIDS (PRE-FRIEND TRIAL): EARLY SAFETY ASSES…

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…

Treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids (UF) is evolving. Historically, treatment options were limited to predominantly invasive surgery; today, conservative and novel oral medical treatments are widely availa…

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 (UFs) are the most important benign neoplastic threat to women's health worldwide, with a prevalence of up to 80% in premenopausal women, and can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and infertility. Progesterone signaling…

INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis and uterine fibroids (UFs) may coexist in women with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). Relugolix combination therapy (Relugolix-CT: relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1 mg, norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg) is approved in the Un…

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 …

Every year, millions of women are affected by genital tract disorders, such as bacterial vaginosis (BV), endometrial cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and uterine fibroids (UFs). These disorders pose a significant eco…

Cell-cell communication is an essential mechanism for the maintenance and development of various organs, including the female reproductive system. Today, it is well-known that the function of the female reproductive system and successful pr…

Diet and nutrition are fundamental in maintaining the general health of populations, including women's health. Health status can be affected by nutrient deficiency and vice versa. Gene-nutrient interactions are important contributors to hea…
