An Exploratory Study of Heat Shock Protein Changes in Women with Unexplained Infertility.
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms27114817

Unexplained infertility affects up to 30% of couples and has been associated with heat shock proteins (HSP) and endometrial stress. HSPs and their co-chaperones are part of a complex network of proteins responsible for maintaining protein h…

An Exploratory Study of Matrix Metalloproteinase Protein Changes in Unexplained Infertility.
Life (Basel, Switzerland) ·doi:10.3390/life16040676

Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been found to be associated with reproductive complications, including female infertility. This study was conducted to explore the link between MMPs in non-obese women with unexplained infer…

Differential Expression of Complement Pathway Components in Unexplained Infertility Versus Male Factor Infertility: Insights from an Exploratory Pilot Study.
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms262010168

Complement (C) proteins have been linked to infertility and reproductive outcomes. This study was undertaken to determine the association of complement proteins in non-obese women before in vitro fertilization (IVF) with unexplained inferti…

Endothelial Protein Changes Indicative of Endometriosis in Unexplained Infertility, an Exploratory Study
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms26136485

Previous research has linked both endothelial protein changes and vitamin D with infertility. This study was undertaken to investigate the association of proteins associated with endothelial function and vitamin D status in the luteal phase…

Matrix Metalloproteinases, Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases, and Their Ratios in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Healthy Controls
·doi:10.3390/ijms26010321

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are M2 macrophage markers that are modulated by inflammation. A disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMS) and those with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) regulate the shedding of membrane-bound proteins, grow…

The Role of MicroRNA, Long Non-Coding RNA and Circular RNA in the Pathogenesis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Literature Review
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms25020903

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine-metabolic disease in females of reproductive age, affecting 4-20% of pre-menopausal women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, single-stranded, non-coding, regulatory ri…
