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 (EMs) is a common condition that causes dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility, affecting millions of women worldwide. Despite the use of assisted reproductive technology, EMs patients often experience …
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 …
Assisted reproductive technology procedures infrequently cause pelvic abscesses, but the risk is higher in patients with endometriosis. If antibiotic treatment of a pelvic abscess is unsuccessful, surgery is required-even during …
Chronic endometritis (CE) is a persistent inflammatory condition of the endometrium characterized by abnormal infiltration of plasma cells into the endometrial stroma. Frequently associated with repeated implantation failure, recurrent pregnancy …
Both chronic endometritis and endometriosis are common entities in infertile patients. The association and the co-existence of these two entities are poorly evaluated. The aim of this systematic review and …
Endometrial collagen I undergoes dynamic degradation and remodelling in response to endometrial stromal cell (ESC) decidualization and embryo implantation. However, excessive collagen I deposition in the endometrium during the implantation …
Abnormal female reproductive tract microbiota are associated with gynecological disorders such as endometriosis or chronic endometritis and may affect reproductive outcomes. However, the differential diagnostic utility of the vaginal or …
The positive effects of growth hormone (GH) on the endometrium, including increased endometrial blood supply and enhanced expression of cytokines associated with endometrial receptivity, have been noted. However, data on …
Endometriosis and adenomyosis have common pathogenesis and close relationship, with multi-factors involved in related infertility and IVF failure. They lead to anatomical changes, ovarian reserve reduction, endocrine abnormalities, altered endometrial …
