Endometriosis is a challenging gynaecological condition that can lead to infertility. This unique narrative review summarises the impact of endometriosis, focusing on oocyte quality, its subcellular and molecular mechanisms, clinical …
Endometriosis (EMS) is an oestrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease that primarily manifests as chronic pelvic pain and infertility. EMS-associated infertility is closely linked to diminished ovarian function and oocyte quality, with …
Oocyte quality is the primary determinant of success in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), and mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a central mediator of poor oocyte competence across advanced maternal …
Since cumulus cells (CCs) play an undeniable role in oocyte maturation by producing and transferring important molecules to the oocyte, examining these cells can provide a broad view of the …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects around 10% of women of reproductive age and is frequently associated with infertility. Despite its high prevalence in assisted reproductive technology (ART) …
The etiopathogenesis of endometriosis-related infertility remains under investigation, including in women with endometriomas. Oocyte quality is believed to play an important role in the impairment of natural fertility in these …
Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in female reproductive health, particularly in ovarian function. This review provides …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease strongly associated with reduced oocyte quality and subfertility, yet the underlying cytoplasmic defects remain poorly understood.
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue, comprising both glandular and stromal components, located outside the uterine cavity, affecting approximately …
