Endometriosis impairs fertility by interfering with ovarian function, embryonic development, and endometrial receptivity. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are recognised as non-invasive biomarkers that may indicate biological processes based on their lipid, …
This study investigates the proteomic profile of the fallopian tube following exposure to human sperm, with a focus on its role in sperm capacitation, final sperm maturation, successful fertilization, and …
Autophagy is a highly conserved eukaryotic process that degrades cytoplasmic material within lysosomes, and plays a crucial role in cellular development, function and homeostasis. Recent studies have increasingly revealed the …
While obesity has been associated with poor reproductive outcomes, the specific factors affecting gametes remain unclear. Our primary objective was to assess the relationship between a couple's pre-pregnancy body mass …
The adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signalling pathway regulates cell metabolism, inflammation and the immune response. This signalling pathway is essential for maintaining reproductive homeostasis and influencing steroidogenesis, implantation, …
Endometriosis, the most prevalent cause of infertility, is associated with anatomical distortion leading to adhesions and fibrosis, as well as endocrine abnormalities and immune disorders. This review discusses the mechanisms …
The correlation between epigenetic alterations and the pathophysiology of human infertility is progressively being elucidated with the discovery of an increasing number of target genes that exhibit altered expression patterns …
Endometrial stromal cell decidualization is required for pregnancy success. Although this process is integral to fertility, many of the intricate molecular mechanisms contributing to decidualization remain undefined. One pathway that …
Carnitine is a vital molecule in human metabolism, prominently involved in fatty acid β-oxidation within mitochondria. Predominantly sourced from dietary intake, carnitine also derives from endogenous synthesis. This review delves …
Highly purified human menopausal gonadotropin (HP-hMG [Menopur®, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Saint-Prex, Switzerland]) contains a 1:1 ratio of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). This analysis aimed to assess gonadotropin (FSH, …
