The ascent of novel alternative methods in drug development spotlights the dual needs for improved biological fidelity to in vivo, along with reproducibility, especially in regulatory applications. The need for …
Ovarian function relies on a network of well-coordinated molecular mechanisms that regulate follicular development, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and corpus luteum function. When these processes are disrupted, infertility can result. Extracellular …
Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a calcium-dependent protein with high affinity for phospholipids, and its multifunctional nature has drawn increasing attention in the onset and progression of various disorders of the …
This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells …
Uterine leiomyomas or fibroids, are non-cancerous smooth muscle proliferations of the uterus, occurring mostly in women of reproductive age. Their pathogenesis involves complex growth factor interactions that regulate cellular proliferation, …
The extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influences cell behavior, yet its properties in human endometrial lesions (HEL) and human uterine fibromas (HUF) are not well characterized. This study aimed to characterize …
Ovarian fibrosis is increasingly recognized as a pivotal factor contributing to ovarian aging, dysfunction and female infertility. It results from chronic or repetitive ovarian injury, such as that caused by …
Endometriosis involves ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, yet the spatial transcriptomic and metabolic landscape of ovarian endometriomas remains poorly understood. This investigation presents a comprehensive multi-omics analysis of ovarian endometriomas …
Adenomyosis and endometriosis are hormone-dependent benign gynecological disorders with overlapping features suggesting that they may share a common origin despite being considered distinct entities. This study compares the expression of …
