The establishment of a successful pregnancy depends on proper embryo development and coordinated endometrial differentiation, particularly through the process of decidualization. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), especially those derived from endometrial …
Women with endometriosis are at increased risk of preeclampsia and eclampsia, leading causes of maternal mortality among Black women in the United States. Despite this, Black women are significantly underdiagnosed …
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been demonstrated with a role in pathologically driving various obstetric and gynecological (OB/GYN) diseases, but molecular mediators associating mitochondrial dysfunction with discrete pathologies have not been determined …
Background/Objective: RNA modifications, including N6-methyladenosine (m6A), 5-methylcytosine (m5C), 7-methylguanosine (m7G), N1-methyladenosine (m1A), pseudouridine (Ψ), N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C), 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm5s2U) and adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing, constitute a critical layer of post-transcriptional regulation that …
Female reproductive disorders represent a major global health challenge. Despite their clinical heterogeneity, these conditions share core pathological mechanisms including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, extracellular matrix …
Soluble immune mediators are key regulators of immune responses that help maintain self-tolerance and prevent autoimmunity. Recently, many forms of these mediators have been found, including soluble immune checkpoints, soluble …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, the relationship between preeclampsia, endometriosis, and subsequent adverse pregnancy …
Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles that mediate intercellular communication by transporting microRNAs, proteins, and lipids. Generated through Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT)-dependent mechanisms or ESCRT-independent pathways, exosomes are …
Background: Women's health has historically served as an incubator for major medical innovations yet often faces relative neglect in sustained funding and implementation. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and …
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as robust biomarkers for diagnosing and prognosing gynecological diseases due to their disease-specific expression and remarkable stability in body fluids. Despite the inherent instability of RNA …
