The reproductive tract microbiome plays a pivotal role in female fertility, with Lactobacillus-dominated communities maintaining a protective, low-pH environment. Dysbiosis-characterized by a reduction in Lactobacillus species and overgrowth of anaerobes-is …
The human microbiome, particularly the gut and reproductive tract microbiota, plays a critical role in regulating fertility through complex molecular and immunological mechanisms. This review synthesizes emerging evidence on the …
This study aimed to investigate the microbiome profile in the cystic fluid of ovarian endometrioma and explore its association with the microbial communities present in the lower and upper reproductive …
Abnormal expression levels of microRNAs are associated with numerous diseases in the female reproductive tract. A small subset of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) genes have retained open reading frames (ORFs) …
Reproductive tract disorders are increasingly recognized in aging captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus), a species listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Pyometra is commonly reported in …
Accessory cavitating uterine masses (ACUM) are rare, cystic uterine anomalies associated with an otherwise normal uterus and reproductive tract. They are diagnosed via a presence of a noncommunicating accessory cavity …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to pain and infertility. Recent research has highlighted the important role of the …
What is the evidence available concerning gut and reproductive tract microbiomes in patients with endometriosis and what are the methodological approaches employed in microbiome studies on endometriosis?
Non-human primates (NHPs) are considered important models for the study of reproductive diseases, due to their anatomical and physiological similarities to humans. However, studies on spontaneous lesions of the reproductive …
