The follicular fluid (FF) microenvironment plays a critical role in oocyte maturation and embryo development, reflecting local ovarian activity and systemic metabolic status. While metabolic alterations in FF have been …
Endometriosis is characterized by enhanced cellular proliferation, migration, and resistance to apoptosis, contributing to lesion persistence and progression. Targeting cellular plasticity and mesenchymal-associated functions may therefore represent a promising therapeutic …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological condition associated with infertility, oxidative stress, and altered metabolic regulation. Follicular fluid (FF) reflects the microenvironment of the developing oocyte, and changes in …
Ghrelin, a peptide composed of 28 amino acids, is recognized for its role in regulating appetite and energy balance. Recently, it has also been identified as an immunomodulator that could …
In mammals, insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) and its cognate receptor (RXFP2) are reported to be essential regulators of male reproductive physiology. It is also believed that INSL3/RXFP2 signaling has a …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that affects approximately 10-15% of reproductive-aged women worldwide. This debilitating disease has a negative impact on the quality of life of those affected. Despite …
