Oocyte formation occurs successfully within a meticulously controlled follicular environment characterized by well-documented endocrine, metabolic, and paracrine signals. Yet, the immunological landscape of the follicle and its role in influencing …
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide. A rare but potentially life-threatening cause of secondary PPH is uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP). In this case …
Background/Objectives: This study assessed whether endometriosis is associated with an increased risk of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders and investigated if assisted reproductive technology (ART) further increases the risk in …
Female reproductive tissues repeatedly undergo controlled inflammation, immune adaptation, and tissue repair. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) sit at the center of these processes, but …
Mycotoxins are widespread food contaminants, and urinary biomarkers reflect recent dietary exposure. Although mycotoxins have been implicated in reproductive toxicity, their impact on human oocyte and embryo development remains poorly …
The establishment of a successful pregnancy depends on proper embryo development and coordinated endometrial differentiation, particularly through the process of decidualization. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), especially those derived from endometrial …
Women with endometriosis are at increased risk of preeclampsia and eclampsia, leading causes of maternal mortality among Black women in the United States. Despite this, Black women are significantly underdiagnosed …
Advanced maternal age (AMA) is a major challenge in reproductive medicine, compounded by coexisting conditions such as adenomyosis and endometriosis, which impair oocyte competence and endometrial receptivity. Prolonged gonadotropin-releasing hormone …
Neonatal uterine bleeding (NUB) has been hypothesized as a relatively common early-life event potentially linked to the later development of endometriosis through retrograde menstruation. However, its true prevalence and biological …
Maternal chronic conditions are implicated as risk factors for congenital anomalies, but few studies have assessed reproductive conditions such as endometriosis. Given the association between endometriosis and infertility requiring fertility …
