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 …
Which patients with endometriosis suffer from diminished ovarian reserve as well as impaired embryo quality and therefore could benefit from medical freezing as part of fertility preservation strategies?
Stem cell-based models resembling murine blastocysts represent a useful system to investigate subsequent developmental processes. While existing cell lines derived from epiblast and trophectoderm can be aggregated to form 'blastoids', …
How can outcomes in programmed frozen embryo transfers (FET) be improved, and what are the key areas where more research is needed?
Could parents one day choose their baby’s traits? Scientists achieve major human embryo gene-editing milestone TheHealthSite
Background: Endometriosis affects 10-15% of reproductive-aged women and is a leading cause of infertility through anatomical, inflammatory, and molecular mechanisms. Objective: This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathophysiology of …
Background/Objectives: Endometrial B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) overexpression has been proposed as a marker of progesterone resistance, occult endometriosis, and endometrial dysfunction in infertile women. Its possible association with reproductive outcomes …
After manufacturing changes, the safety and tolerability of the progesterone vaginal ring (PVR) was compared to findings from the similarly designed phase 3 trial. This prospective, open-label, single-arm, multi-center U.S. …
Lipid metabolic remodeling shapes early human maternal-embryo interface function EurekAlert!
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 …
