BACKGROUND: Follicular fluid extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as critical mediators of intercellular communication during oocyte development. This study investigates the role of small non-coding RNAs (SncRNAs) within porcine follic…

When exploring the macro trend of declining global fertility rates, a pathological factor often hidden beneath individual suffering cannot be ignored: pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Recurrent inflammation leads to tissue damage, adhesio…

Epigenetic regulation plays an essential role in immunity and inflammation in endometriosis. In this study, we aimed to explore differences in m6A regulators between endometriosis patients and normal women and analyze the effect of m6A modi…
