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 …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. A common feature of this pathology is the impaired decidualization of endometrial stromal …
The uterus is a complex organ that requires precise signaling networks to mediate functions necessary for homeostasis and reproductive processes. The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily regulates integral signaling …
Decidual stromal cells (DSCs) are involved in immunoregulatory mechanisms that prevent fetal rejection by the mammalian maternal immune system. Recent studies using single-cell RNA sequencing demonstrated the existence of different …
