Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and progesterone receptor (PGR) are essential regulators for endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation. Their expression is dysregulated in women with endometriosis-associated infertility. However, the relationship between …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, organochlorine pesticides, and heavy metal ions, pose serious threats to reproductive health by interfering with hormonal balance and molecular signaling pathways. Recent …
The cervicovaginal microbiome-spanning from the vagina to endometrium-remains undercharacterized in endometriosis-associated infertility. Objective: To determine whether combined vaginal and cervical microbial profiles predict frozen embryo transfer (FET) outcomes.
The immunology of fertilization, implantation and pregnancy is based on a complex balance between maternal immune tolerance and a controlled inflammatory response. Adaptation of the maternal immune system is essential …
tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs(ncRNAs) generated from precursor or mature tRNAs under stress conditions, such as starvation, hypoxia, or oxidative stress. They are broadly classified …
A healthy reproductive system is fundamental to human fertility. N6-adenosine methylation (m6A), the most prevalent RNA modification in eukaryotes, plays a critical role in regulating RNA metabolism, including splicing, degradation, …
Mitophagy is a catabolic mechanism that selectively degrades damaged mitochondria and precisely modulates mitochondrial content, thereby maintaining intracellular homeostasis under stress conditions. To date, most reviews on mitophagy have predominantly …
Infertility is a significant global health issue affecting millions of couples, with noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) emerging as pivotal regulators in reproductive biology. This review explores the roles of various ncRNAs, …
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, …
As a highly dynamic tissue, the endometrium undergoes complex remodeling during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Recent studies have revealed that cellular senescence plays a pivotal role in both physiological …
