BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the association between endometrial thickness (EMT) on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger and the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) across one oocyte-retrieval cycle.…

Endometriosis is a common, estrogen-driven chronic gynecologic disorder defined by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue within the peritoneal cavity. Existing treatment options, primarily surgery and hormonal therapy, are limited b…

BACKGROUND: Ultrasound-based deep learning (DL) models for the precise diagnosis of endometrial cancer are insufficient. Our aim is to develop and validate an automatic multi-modal ultrasound DL prediction model for the accurate identificat…

IntroductionAcupuncture has been explored as a potential intervention for POR; however, high-quality evidence is limited. This multicenter randomized trial evaluated the effect of acupuncture on the number of oocytes retrieved following con…

IntroductionDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is known to reduce the likelihood of achieving pregnancy or live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Acupuncture maybe effective for DOR, but current e…

Graphical abstractAbstractThe endometrium is the primary site of embryo implantation. Cellular senescence within the endometrium can be broadly categorised into normal cyclical senescence and pathological excessive senescence. Normal cyclic…

The paradigm shift of lactate from a mere metabolic byproduct to a pleiotropic signaling molecule, coupled with the discovery of lactylation, provides a crucial framework for understanding how metabolic reprogramming drives systemic patholo…

ObjectiveObesity impairs endometrial receptivity; however, the mechanism remains unclear. Obesity is associated with elevated leptin levels, and leptin receptor (Ob-Rb) has been demonstrated to be expressed in the human endometrium, but the…

2,3',4,4',5-Pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB118) is a persistent environmental pollutant associated with adverse female reproductive outcomes; however, its effects on uterine function and epigenetic regulation remain incompletely understood. This s…

Circadian rhythms are ~24 h endogenous rhythms driven by both central and peripheral clocks, with their core mechanism being a transcription‑translation feedback loop mediated by master clock genes. The present review outlines the organizat…

BackgroundHyperthyroidism adversely impacts female reproduction, yet its association with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes remains controversial. It remains unknown whether ovarian function recovers upon achieving euthyroidism. We comp…

BackgroundDisrupted sleep and shift work are linked to multiple adverse health outcomes, but their association with reproductive endocrine disorders (REDs) and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Understanding this relationship is crucial…

Oral delivery of protein and peptide therapeutics (PPs) offers a non-invasive, patient-friendly alternative to parenteral administration, yet faces multiple formidable barriers due to the complex gastrointestinal (GI) environment. This revi…

Objective: To investigate the association between hysterectomy and accelerated aging, with a focus on the mediating effect of renal function and protective role of dietary fiber intake. Methods: The cross-sectional study utilized data from …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mainly depends on liver fibrosis/cirrhosis, which is regulated by tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME), and is a crucial factor in tumor progression. This study aimed to identify abnormally express…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe condition frequently linked to infertility, yet the optimal integration of surgery and assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains controversial. This study reports two cases of infertili…

BackgroundPurinergic P2 receptors, which can be divided into ionotropic P2X receptors and metabotropic P2Y receptors, mediate cellular signal transduction of purine or pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphate. Based on the wide e…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been extensively studied as a common female endocrine disease. In recent years, the relationship between circadian rhythm and PCOS has gradually drawn attention, although the precise nature of …

BACKGROUND: Insomnia is increasingly emerging as a significant concern in public health, with a longstanding emphasis on its relationship with overall well-being. Nevertheless, few research has been devoted to investigating the relationship…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a common chronic neuroinflammatory disease with a poorly understood pathogenesis. Molecular changes and specific immune cell infiltration in the eutopic endometrium are critical to disease progression. This study a…

Mercury, a prevalent heavy metal, negatively impacts oocyte maturation. However, the exact mechanism by which methylmercury chloride (MMC) affects this process remains elusive. The present study found that MMC administration triggered meiot…

BackgroundThe human endometrium is a regenerative tissue relying on stem/progenitor cells. Endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSCs) are typically enriched using perivascular markers like CD140b and CD146. However, the identity of more pri…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial endocrine disorder characterized by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology, leading to infertility. Elevated basal luteinizing hormone (bLH) levels in PC…
