The influence of menstrual cycle and endometriosis on endometrial expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related genes Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone pulsatility is under the influence of hypothalamic neuropeptides, especially neurons expressing kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin. These hypothalamic cells are called KNDy neurons. By integrating hormonal and environmental …
With each menstrual cycle, endometrial cells rapidly proliferate and decidualize in preparation for pregnancy. Such rapid proliferation generates replication stress and results in DNA damage with irreparable cells undergoing senescence. …
Uterine contractility has emerged as a potential key element in the orchestration of female reproductive functions, with specific motility patterns seemingly aligning with hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle. These …
As a highly dynamic tissue, the endometrium undergoes complex remodeling during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Recent studies have revealed that cellular senescence plays a pivotal role in both physiological …
Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare clinical condition first described over seven decades ago. It typically occurs within 72 hours before or after menstruation and is most frequently observed in women …
Diseases of the female reproductive system are prevalent. These conditions often have a high proportion of asymptomatic patients and prolonged treatment durations. Estrogen, a crucial steroid hormone, plays a central …
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is an uncommon condition marked by recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax in women, typically occurring within the first 72 hours of menstruation. It is also the most prevalent manifestation …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a diverse, comprehensive group of mostly synthetic chemicals that disrupt many physiological functions in humans and animals. EDCs are particularly disruptive to the female reproductive system. …
