Recent advances in microbiome research have illuminated the complex bidirectional interactions between gut health and reproductive well-being. Understanding the gut microbiome's influence on the reproductive system and vice versa reveals …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition requiring surgical or imaging visualization for definitive diagnosis. How endometriotic lesion characteristics relate to circulating inflammatory markers remains unclear. We evaluated 11 inflammatory biomarkers, …
Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent disorder that affects about 10% of reproductive-age women. EMS affects female neuroendocrine and reproductive functions, greatly compromising female reproductive health and quality of life. However, …
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants with known harmful effects on human health. However, their specific impact on reproductive outcomes, both cancer-related and non-cancer-related, has not been comprehensively …
With each menstrual cycle, endometrial cells rapidly proliferate and decidualize in preparation for pregnancy. Such rapid proliferation generates replication stress and results in DNA damage with irreparable cells undergoing senescence. …
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 …
Women's risk of mental health conditions fluctuates across the lifespan with hormone-mediated reproductive transitions. Reproductive psychiatry, a relatively new subspecialty, focuses on preventing and treating these conditions throughout various reproductive …
To demonstrate, using actual insurance data, that benign pelvic conditions are associated with increased healthcare costs and that these costs increase further with each additional coexisting benign pelvic diagnoses.
Female infertility, affecting millions worldwide, involves complex molecular mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, impaired cellular death, and protein regulation. This study explores how the cytokine IL-6, the autophagy marker LC3, …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with impacts on reproduction, health and quality of life, yet its diagnosis is often delayed. Ovarian endometrioma (OMA) is the most common subtype of …
