DHODH regulates trophoblast fusion via IFITM-reduced plasma membrane fluidity: Implications for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
iScience ·doi:10.1016/j.isci.2026.116163

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) affect 5%-10% of pregnant women and, in the absence of established therapies, remain a leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality. HDPs have been associated with disruption of cytotrophoblas…

Loss of miR-424 and miR-503 promotes decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells by increasing SCARA5 expression.
Medical molecular morphology ·doi:10.1007/s00795-025-00431-5

This study aims to investigate the function of miR-424 and miR-503, identified as putative regulatory miRNAs of FOXO1, a key factor for decidualization. The expression of both miR-424 and miR-503 in human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) w…

[Fibrosis signaling in endometrial cells and endometriosis development]
Nihon yakurigaku zasshi. Folia pharmacologica Japonica ·doi:10.1254/fpj.24030

In endometriosis, the tissues similar to the endometrial tissue attaches outside the uterine cavity, causing inflammation and fibrosis. The retrograde menstruation theory is the most plausible mechanism, though the detailed pathogenesis rem…
