Decidualization is the transformation of endometrial stromal cells into functionally specialized cells during the early stages of pregnancy. Occurring in mammals that develop invasive hemochorial placentae, decidualization is a pivotal …
The human endometrium is a dynamic tissue that lines the uterus and undergoes constant remodeling, making it especially susceptible to gynecological diseases like endometriosis and endometrial cancer. The molecular mechanisms …
Endometriosis markedly compromises female fertility, and although endometrial dysfunction likely plays a role in this pathology, its precise mechanistic contributions remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the decidualization …
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 …
Endometriosis is a disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, leading to dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, dysuria, and infertility. The latter has been related to implantation …
The Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA) is a small GTPase. RhoA plays major roles in cytoskeletal regulation, transcriptional control, and cell cycle maintenance. RhoA is widely expressed in …
Ovarian endometriotic cysts are associated with an increased risk of clear cell and endometrioid carcinomas, as well as borderline neoplasms. Although contrast-enhancing nodules on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggest malignancy, …
This study is the first attempt to examine the effects of NETA on immune cells and telocytes. The results of this study form an important knowledge base for the development …
Human endometrium is the major target tissue for sex steroid hormones. The circulating steroid hormones in normal ovulatory cycles accurately control the proliferation and differentiation of the endometrial cells. Androgens, …
Over 75% of failed pregnancies involve implantation defects. Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) is an adaptor protein involved in signal transduction and cell communication. Here we show that the …
