Oocyte quality, a critical determinant of female reproductive potential, experiences a progressive decline with age, largely driven by the cumulative effects of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This review thoroughly …
Decidualization of endometrial stromal cells involves significant morphological and functional changes in which alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression decreases. Meflin, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein, suppresses αSMA expression and inhibits fibrosis in …
The endometrium is a highly dynamic and complex tissue lining the uterus, playing a central role in reproductive health. Despite its importance, the pathogenesis of many benign endometrial disorders remains …
Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. …
Endometriosis is a prevalent inflammatory disease affecting approximately one in ten women, characterized by endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Despite its high incidence, treatment options are limited, and the underlying …
Both genetic and environmental factors affect human stature, including overall height and familial short stature (FSS), and it is associated with various health outcomes. However, the study of genetic connections …
Infertility affects one in six individuals worldwide despite the advancement of assisted reproductive technologies. Successful embryo implantation is the first step of pregnancy, which relies on the establishment of a …
Decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) precedes the successful implantation of a human embryo. Improper decidualization has been reported in numerous conditions associated with infertility including endometriosis. Multiple pathways, …
Patients with endometriosis have greater risk of infertility, which is associated with compromised ovarian function. Dysfunction in follicular granulosa cells and hyperactivation of oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) are evident in …
This study evaluates the synergistic therapeutic effect of metformin (MET) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on endometriosis (EM) and investigates the involvement of the steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) and mitogen-inducible …
