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 …
Metabolism-regulating microspheres have evolved from conventional drug carriers into active platforms capable of spatiotemporally reprogramming pathological metabolic networks. Chronic diseases are increasingly understood to be driven by metabolic dysregulation, highlighting …
The reduction in oocyte competence and ovarian reserve coincides with reproductive ageing; nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Our testable mechanistic hypothesis is that the oxidative …
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 …
Endometriosis is a complex and multifaceted gynecological disorder characterized by the abnormal growth and presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the confines of the uterine cavity. It can lead to a …
Inadequate angiogenesis of endometriotic implants stimulated by the inflammatory microenvironment in the uterine region leads to the development of gynecological diseases, which significantly reduce the fertility and vitality of young …
Endometriosis affects ~15% of women of reproductive age worldwide, impacting ~190 million individuals. Despite its high prevalence, the precise pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear. Emerging evidence has highlighted oxidative stress …
BACKGROUND Women with endometriosis experience significantly reduced fertility, potentially linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. This study investigates the impact of endometriosis on oocyte mitochondrial morphology and cardiolipin levels, key indicators of …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age, leading to a disabling gynecologic condition. Chronic pain, inflammation, and oxidative stress have been identified as the molecular pathways involved in …
Ovarian endometrioma (OEM), a particularly severe form of endometriosis, is an oestrogen-dependent condition often associated with pain and infertility. The mechanisms by which OEM impairs fertility, particularly through its direct …
