The human microbiome, a dynamic endocrine organ, exerts profound systemic influence through the production of bioactive metabolites. While the microbiome-gut-brain axis is well-established, the direct conduit between the gut microbiota …
Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of mechanical properties in the ovarian microenvironment for ovarian function. However, the mechanisms that cause ovarian matrix stiffening during aging remain incompletely understood. …
Microvascular thromboinflammation is a pervasive yet under-recognized driver of multisystem morbidity that links focal endothelial injury to distal organ dysfunction through interacting cellular and plasmatic networks. Contemporary paradigms remain fragmented: …
Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) have emerged as physiologically relevant three-dimensional (3D) culture systems that closely mimic the molecular and histological features of the human endometrium and associated malignancies. Owing to their …
Human fertility has declined sharply since 1950, and a growing body of evidence suggests that while conventional socioeconomic factors are well-established drivers of the broader demographic transition, they do not …
Endometriosis (EM) is a common gynecological disorder imposing a considerable burden on the quality of life of women through chronic pain, infertility, and other clinical manifestations. The effectiveness of management …
Three-dimensional (3D) endothelium-stromal co-cultures were established using human endometrial cells from biopsy of healthy women (n = 13) and serum samples from both healthy and endometriotic women (n = 5). …
Recently, several studies have explored the potential association between endometriosis and human papillomavirus. This study aimed to investigate whether women with endometriosis are prone to human papillomavirus and whether women …
Abnormal uterotubal junction (UTJ) structure is implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and infertility; however, this relationship remains poorly characterized. We quantitatively characterized the orientation of collagen fiber bundles in …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Zinc Finger Protein 143 (ZNF143) is a DNA-binding transcription factor, yet …
