This review focuses on the diverse etiologies of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) and the crucial role of imaging in their diagnosis. Unlike primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), which is typically due …
Ferroptosis, as an iron-dependent programmed cell death, plays a significant role in reproductive system diseases. It's involved in the pathological processes of various reproductive system diseases by affecting the survival …
Biomaterials for drug delivery offer significant advantages over conventional medications, including enhanced cellular uptake, improved drug stability, targeted delivery, and controlled drug release. Cutting-edge nanodrugs delivery approaches such as drugs …
Minimally invasive endometriosis surgery can be done laparoscopically or with robotic assistance. The choice of modality of this procedure could impact postprocedure pain levels and the need for opioids to …
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 is a chronic inflammatory condition requiring surgical or imaging visualization for definitive diagnosis. How endometriotic lesion characteristics relate to circulating inflammatory markers remains unclear. We evaluated 11 inflammatory biomarkers, …
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 …
Female infertility, affecting millions worldwide, involves complex molecular mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, impaired cellular death, and protein regulation. This study explores how the cytokine IL-6, the autophagy marker LC3, …
Disulfidptosis is a novel Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADPH) deficiency-driven cell death pathway characterized by cystine overload and aberrant disulfide bond formation in actin cytoskeletal proteins, distinct from apoptosis, ferroptosis, …
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, …
