The female reproductive system, including the endometrium, placenta, ovary, cervix, and fallopian tube, plays a critical role in conception, implantation, and fetal development. Recent advances in bioengineered models such as organoids, org…

IntroductionThe magnitude and modifiers of the association between acute pancreatitis (AP) and pancreatic cancer (PC) are unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the occurrence of PC in AP, the association of PC …

The uterus is a dynamic organ in which the endometrium undergoes cyclic processes of proliferation, shedding, and regeneration under the influence of estrogen and progesterone. In particular, estrogen regulates the proliferation and differe…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between prior mode of delivery (cesarean vs. vaginal) and endometrial thickness in the subsequent frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle. The secondary aim was to evaluate FET cycle outcomes.DesignRetrospect…

Endometrial stem cells (EnSCs) are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from endometrial tissue and serve as a valuable MSC source, as they are naturally replenished during menstruation. Exosomes, vesicles secreted by cells, contain variou…

The rising global burden of infertility continues to increase clinical reliance on assisted reproductive technology (ART), yet overall outcomes remain constrained by limited physiological fidelity of conventional two-dimensional (2D) cultur…

Abstract Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is a prevalent metabolic disorder associated with various systemic complications. Emerging evidence suggests a link between SLD and women reproductive health, including infertility and gynecological d…

Vaginal hysterectomy remains the least invasive approach for benign gynecologic diseases, but has steadily declined due to limited surgical exposure during residency. Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has…

ObjectiveThis study reviewed women's health (WH) curricula at chiropractic colleges and developed core competencies for WH.MethodsInstructors of chiropractic colleges who taught WH-related course(s) were contacted to complete a survey that …

In mice, the uterus undergoes dynamic changes regulated by estrogen and progesterone during the estrous cycle. Proper regulation of these changes is critical for successful pregnancy. The Family with sequence similarity 3 (Fam3) gene family…

ObjectivesAlthough particulate matter (PM) exposure poses significant public health risks, previous research has focused on limited clinical areas. However, emerging evidence and pathological mechanisms of PM suggest that PM may exert broad…

Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue growing outside of the uterus. One of its main symptoms is chronic pain and inflammation leading to a decreased quality of l…

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent condition with limited treatment options, often requiring surgery and long-term hormonal therapy that may impair ovarian function. Despite advancements in gene therapy for other diseases, its ap…

Virus-induced trabeculitis is considered a significant cause of uveitic glaucoma, being marked by a sudden increase in intraocular pressure and relatively mild inflammation in the anterior chamber of the eye. In previous proteome analyses o…

Transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) functions as a transcriptional coactivator, which shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus under the Hippo signaling. It is known to be involved in promoting cell proliferation,…

Ovarian aging results in decreased fertility and endocrine function. In mice, caloric restriction (CR) maintains ovarian function. In this study, we determined whether CR also has a beneficial effect on reproductive longevity in the nonhuma…

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play dual roles in the pathophysiology of endometrial cancer (EC). Oxidative stress induced by ROS can promote the survival and proliferation of cancer cells, whereas excessive accumulation of ROS can lead to v…

PurposeTo determine whether the embryonic euploidy rate and live birth outcomes following single, euploid embryo transfer (SEET) differ among women of self-reported racial and ethnic backgrounds.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study includ…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent and progesterone-resistant gynecological inflammatory disease of reproductive-age women. Progesterone resistance, loss of progesterone receptor -B (PR-B) in the stromal cells of the endometrium, is one…

BackgroundGiant bullous emphysema is characterized by large bullae occupying at least one-third of the hemithorax and leading to compression of the surrounding lung parenchyma. Overdiagnosis can occur because of the atypical appearance of h…

BackgroundFemale infertility is a crucial problem with significant implications for individuals and society. In this study, we explore risk factors for infertility in Korean women.MethodsA total of 986 female patients who visited six major …

This study aimed to develop and determine the effects of a nursing education program using virtual reality (VR) for women with uterine tumors undergoing treatment with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). Various nursing education meth…

High-sensitivity sensors applied in various diagnostic systems are considered to be a promising technology in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. Biosensors that can quickly detect the presence and concentration of specific biomate…

This study aimed to review the surgical outcomes of supracervical hysterectomy using the da Vinci SP® surgical system and conventional single-site laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids. This study included 79 patients who underwent supr…
