INTRODUCTION: Female diseases pose significant challenges in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly among adolescent girls and young women, who often receive insufficient attention. OBJECTIVES: To report patterns and trends of fem…

BACKGROUND: Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are endogenous molecules released or exposed during cellular stress, injury, or death. Initially characterized as danger signals that alert the immune system, DAMPs are now recognized…

INTRODUCTION: Embryonic stem cells (ESCs), capable of generating all adult cell types, hold transformative potential for agriculture and biomedicine. However, stable sheep ESCs derivation remains challenging, limiting their application in f…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder for which metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a central pathological feature. Driven by genetic, epigenetic, and microenvironmental stressors, ectopic…

INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis, which affects > 20% of reproductive-age women, is a major cause of infertility. Defective decidualization of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) is a key pathogenic feature of adenomyosis; however, the underlying red…

INTRODUCTION: Transcription factor EB (TFEB) deficiency contributes to insufficient autophagic degradation, resulting in zymogen granule (ZG) accumulation and subsequent premature activation, which underlies the pathogenesis of alcoholic pa…

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is a prevalent form of cancer worldwide, presenting a substantial risk to human well-being. Lung cancer is classified into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The adv…

BACKGROUND: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) is one of the precursor stages before cervical lesions develop into cervical cancer. The spontaneous development of CIN2 is ambiguous. One part of CIN2 lesions will progress to c…

BACKGROUND: Purinergic 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…

BACKGROUND: Melatonin is mainly secreted by the pineal gland during darkness and regulates biological rhythms through its receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. In addition, it also plays a role in the reproductive sy…

BACKGROUND: Lactate was once considered as metabolic waste for a long time. In 2019, Professor Zhao Yingming's team from the University of Chicago found that lactate could also be used as a substrate to induce histone lactylation and regula…

BACKGROUND: Mycotoxin, a secondary metabolite of fungus, found worldwide and concerning in crops and food, causes multiple acute and chronic toxicities. Its toxic profile includes hepatotoxicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, estrogenici…

INTRODUCTION: Metabolic syndrome is a serious public health concern across the globe. However, the typical metabolites and mechanisms underlying the decreased fertility related to metabolic syndrome is still elusive. OBJECTIVES: The aim of…

INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis is a prevalent gynaecological disorder affecting women of reproductive age, yet the underlying etiology and cellular-molecular mechanisms driving its pathogenesis remain poorly understood. Gonadotropin-releasing ho…

BACKGROUND: Cancer immunotherapy has emerged as a groundbreaking approach in cancer treatment, primarily realized through the manipulation of immune cells, notably T cell adoption and immune checkpoint blockade. Nevertheless, the manipulati…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects ∼10 % of women. A significant fraction of patients experience limited or no efficacy with current therapies. Tissue adjacent to endometriosis lesions often exhibits …

BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy has emerged as a novel strategy for cancer treatment following surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Immune checkpoint blockade and Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies have been successful in clinic…

BACKGROUND: The reportedly high mutation rate of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may be attributed to the absence of histone protection and complete repair mechanisms. Mitochondrial heteroplasmy refers to the coexistence of wild-type and mutant m…

BACKGROUND: Rare ginsenosides (Rg3, Rh2, C-K, etc.) refer to a group of dammarane triterpenoids that exist in low natural abundance, mostly produced by deglycosylation or side chain modification via physicochemical processing or metabolic t…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have focused on the involvement of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and SNHGs in tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and metastasis via multiple pathways, including phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein…

INTRODUCTION: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a challenging problem of assisted reproductive technology that arises mainly due to inadequate endometrial receptivity and its pathogenesis is still unclear. OBJECTIVES: In this study, …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological disease whose aetiology is still unknown. Despite its prevalence among women of reproductive age, the pathology of the disease has not yet been elucidated and only symptomatic treatment …

Laparoscopy is widely recognized as a procedure of choice for gynaecological surgery. Myomectomy and hysterectomy are the most frequently performed surgical procedures in gynaecology. A morcellator is often used in myomectomies or subtotal …

The human genome, which includes thousands of genes, represents a big data challenge. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease with a genetic basis. Many single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) association methods partition a …

A young women presented with iliac vein thrombosis, as extrapelvic endometriosis complication. Endometriosis mass had a subfascial position at the level of external oblique muscle and extended to the iliac vein. This paper reviewed the lite…
