Microplastics and female infertility: reproductive toxicity and underlying mechanisms.

In modern society, the progression of ovarian aging in women has accelerated, and the incidence of infertility has increased markedly with a distinct younger-onset trend. Exploring the etiology and pathogenesis …

Dietary and Environmental Exposure to Toxic Elements in Endometriosis: A Missing Piece of the Etiological Puzzle?

Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disease with a complex and incompletely understood etiology. Environmental exposure to toxic elements, including cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic, may contribute to its development …

Superficial Peritoneal Endometriosis Beyond Surgical Diagnosis: A Narrative Review of Emerging Functional and Molecular Perspectives.

Background and Objectives: Superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) remains one of the most difficult endometriosis phenotypes to diagnose non-invasively, because lesions are frequently small, multifocal, and poorly detectable using conventional imaging. …

Shared Genetic Architecture and Pleiotropic Loci Linking Endometriosis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An Integrative GWAS, Colocalization, and Mendelian Randomization Study.

Endometriosis (EMS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are both chronic inflammatory disorders with overlapping clinical features, suggesting a potentially shared etiology. Although epidemiological studies have reported an association between the …

Systems-level genomic analyses reveal shared mechanisms underlying endometriosis and sleep disorders.

We examined clinical, genetic, and molecular links between sleep disorders and endometriosis. Women aged 20-54 years in NHANES 2005-2006 were analyzed with survey-weighted logistic regression. Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) …

Endometriosis-Associated Implantation Failure: Pathophysiology, Biomarkers, and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies.

Implantation failure remains a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and is a significant contributor to infertility in women with endometriosis. Beyond mechanical distortion and ovarian dysfunction, increasing evidence …

p53-mediated epigenetic regulation in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder affecting reproductive‑aged women, characterized by ectopic endometrial growth and chronic pelvic pain that severely impairs quality of life. Although its pathogenesis remains incompletely …

A prospective study of non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing for Rh status, sex prediction and mtDNA copy number analysis using ddPCR on spent culture media.

Presence of embryo-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in spent culture medium (SCM) represents a promising non-invasive alternative to the conventional preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). The present study evaluated the feasibility of …

Mendelian randomization of risk factors for premenstrual disorders.

The causal role of established risk factors for premenstrual disorders (PMDs) remains unclear. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess causality for eight known-risk factors identified through a literature review. …

FOS and Other Genes Linked to Oxidative Stress Are Upregulated in Women Suffering from Endometriosis and Might Negatively Impact the Oocyte Developmental Competence During ICSI.

We aim to elucidate the impact of endometriomas on oocyte developmental competence and identify genetic alterations that may influence ICSI success rates in women of different ages.
