Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-driven inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women globally. Despite increasing genomic insights into advanced-stage disease, the genetic underpinnings of early-stage endometriosis remain poorly understood, …
Cesarean delivery is a common procedure, currently accounting for one-third of live births in the US. In the acute post-operative setting, it can be difficult to distinguish changes of the …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis has been shown to be associated with an increased cancer risk, and apoptosis may be important in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. To date, it remains unclear …
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 …
Endometriosis, a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, is associated with severe pelvic pain, infertility, and profound immune dysregulation. Despite advances in hormonal therapy and …
Human infertility represents a multifaceted condition, with oxidative stress (OS) and microRNAs (miRNAs) emerging as key contributors to its pathophysiology. This comprehensive review explores the complex interplay between reactive oxygen …
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 …
Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition impacting 5-10% of reproductive-age women, commonly resulting in debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. Despite extensive research efforts, the precise underlying pathophysiology remains largely …
Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis by degrading damaged organelles and misfolded proteins. Emerging evidence highlights its pivotal role in endometrial diseases, including endometriosis, …
Steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs) are master regulators of nuclear receptor signaling and play essential roles in female reproductive physiology. By integrating steroid hormone signaling with growth factors and metabolic pathways, …
