A broad range of genetic and epigenetic factors contributes to female infertility, a substantial proportion of which is related to ovulatory disorders. Any factor that disrupts the normal function of …
Endometriosis (EMS) is an oestrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease that primarily manifests as chronic pelvic pain and infertility. EMS-associated infertility is closely linked to diminished ovarian function and oocyte quality, with …
The anion exchanger 1 (AE1), traditionally known for its role in erythrocyte anion transport and acid-base homeostasis, has recently been identified in non-erythroid tissues, suggesting broader physiological functions. In the …
Ovarian endometrioma (OMA), an endometriosis subtype, involves hemorrhagic cysts formed by ectopic endometrial-like tissue, causing pelvic pain, inflammation, and infertility by disrupting ovarian function. Despite its impact, the single-cell dynamics …
Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in female reproductive health, particularly in ovarian function. This review provides …
Oocyte formation occurs successfully within a meticulously controlled follicular environment characterized by well-documented endocrine, metabolic, and paracrine signals. Yet, the immunological landscape of the follicle and its role in influencing …
Ovarian endometriosis (OE) is a leading cause of female infertility. Our previous work identified iron overload-driven oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in granulosa cells as key pathogenic features, yet the …
Endometriosis (EMs)-associated infertility has been linked to alterations in the follicular microenvironment; however, the role of exosomal long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in granulosa cell dysfunction remains incompletely understood.
Infertility and ovarian ageing are increasingly acknowledged as illnesses affected not just by endocrine decline but also by chronic inflammatory stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in the reproductive milieu. The cGAS-STING …
Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a member of the neurotrophin family, is currently regarded as a key regulator of ovarian physiology beyond its well-known neurotrophic functions. The mammalian ovary is one …
