AIM: Infertility is a growing global health issue affecting millions worldwide. While endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and unexplained infertility are recognized as the major contributors, their specific burden and impact o…

The increased risk of infertility and endometrial lesions (such as endometrial hyperplasia or cancer) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are closely associated with the lack of cyclical transformation in the endometrium. However, the under…

Endometriosis (EMs), a common and frequently occurring gynecological disease, is a major cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility in women. Its pathogenesis remains unclear to date, and it is characterized by high invasiveness and recur…

Recent advances in understanding the modulatory functions of gut and gut microbiota on human diseases facilitated our focused attention on the contribution of the gut to the pathophysiological alterations of many extraintestinal organs, inc…

PurposeIn China, the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among infertile couples is a significant clinical problem. It is necessary to determine the effect of HBV infection on embryo development.MethodsThe 4301 fresh cycles and …

Cellular senescence is known to be involved in tissue repair, but its role in adenomyosis remains unclear. This study was tasked to evaluate the expression of Klotho, a well-known aging-suppressing protein, as well as PPARγ and DNMT1 in ade…

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic disease that can cause pain and infertility in patients. As is well known, immune cell infiltrations (ICIs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of EM. However, the pathogenesis and biomarkers of EM that …

Adenomyosis (AM) is recognized as a complex gynecological and endocrine disorder that contributes to infertility and elevates the risk of pregnancy complications; however, its underlying genetic basis remains unidentified. This study aimed …

ObjectivePelvic organ prolapse (POP) present a significant global health burden, yet effective therapeutic targets remain limited. This study aims to identify potential disease-modifying agents for POP and provide insights to guide the deve…

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and its subtypes are serious concerns affecting a woman's quality of life and pose a challenge for her social reintegration. Prolonged labor leading to trauma of the pelvic floor muscles during delivery, surgical…

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…
