Follicular fluid (FF) plays a vital role in the bidirectional communication between oocytes and granulosa cells (GCs), regulating and promoting oocyte growth and development. This fluid constitutes a complex microenvironment, …
Observational studies and animal experiments had suggested a potential relationship between gut microbiota abundance and pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs), but the relevance of this relationship remains to be clarified.
To investigate the associations of the gut microbiota with reproductive system diseases, including female infertility, male infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), primary ovarian failure, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, sexual …
The family of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17β-HSDs) occupies a prominent place due to its number of isoforms, which carry out a bidirectional transformation (reduction of a steroid carbonyl to alcohol and …
Observational studies have reported an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and endometriosis. We conducted a two-sample and bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis to determine whether those associations are causal. Two-sample …
Endometriosis, a prevalent chronic condition, afflicts approximately 10% of women in their reproductive years. Emerging evidence implicates immune cells in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, particularly in angiogenesis, tissue proliferation, and …
The cesarean scar (CS) niche, a consequence of incomplete wound healing, can lead to gynecological complications and affect future pregnancies. While internal niches have been well-studied, external and bidirectional niches …
Previous studies have identified associations between immune cell traits and endometriosis, but the causality of these relationships remains uncertain. In this study, we utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the …
To explore the cause-effect relationship between uterine diseases (UDs) and breast cancer (BC) and underlying mechanism of the cause-effect relationship, enhance understanding of the association between BC and UDs.
