Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease that severely affects the physical and mental health of women of childbearing age. Due to the significant side effects of traditional hormone therapies, non-hormonal treatment …
Endometriosis is a painful gynecological inflammatory disease affecting up to 10% of females. When released by sensory neurons, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) shapes immunity, a process known as neuroimmune communication. …
Chronic pain is a widespread condition affecting millions globally, placing significant strain on healthcare systems, as evidenced by the current opioid crisis. Despite advances in pain management, conventional treatments often …
Dual-omics, by integrating molecular information from two distinct dimensions, can offer more comprehensive perspective for complex disease. Herein, we developed an efficient functionalized mesoporous nanoparticle-coupled laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (fMNPLDI-MS) …
The ascent of novel alternative methods (NAMs) in drug development spotlights the dual needs for improved biological fidelity to in vivo along with reproducibility, especially in regulatory applications. The need …
Ghrelin, a peptide composed of 28 amino acids, is recognized for its role in regulating appetite and energy balance. Recently, it has also been identified as an immunomodulator that could …
Multifunctional small-molecule theranostic agents hold significant clinical potential for non-invasive endometriosis (EMS) management. Current EMS treatment faces challenges due to imprecise lesion localization and therapy-associated side effects. Herein, an integrated …
In mammals, insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) and its cognate receptor (RXFP2) are reported to be essential regulators of male reproductive physiology. It is also believed that INSL3/RXFP2 signaling has a …
Endometrial regeneration is a cornerstone of reproductive health, with the extracellular matrix (ECM) playing a pivotal role in tissue repair, regeneration, and fertility restoration. Dysregulated ECM remodeling is at the …
Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a potent agonist for the GPCR receptor NPSR1, implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including inflammation. NPSR1 gene polymorphisms have been linked to asthma, inflammatory …
