Epithelial ovarian cancer is not a single disease but a group of biologically distinct malignancies that include serous (high-grade and low-grade), endometrioid, clear cell, and mucinous carcinomas, along with other …
Background: Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers (EAOCs), including ovarian clear cell (OCCC) and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (EnOC) subtypes, frequently exhibit transcriptomic dysregulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling axis. While genomic aberrations are well-documented, …
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is increasingly utilized worldwide, yet concerns remain regarding its potential association with breast and gynecological malignancies and the safety of fertility-preservation strategies in cancer survivors. Ovarian …
Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of mechanical properties in the ovarian microenvironment for ovarian function. However, the mechanisms that cause ovarian matrix stiffening during aging remain incompletely understood. …
The genitourinary system undergoes a complex development, making it prone to congenital anomalies. Müllerian duct anomalies are among these, affecting the uterus, cervix, and vagina due to errors in ductal …
Female reproductive tissues repeatedly undergo controlled inflammation, immune adaptation, and tissue repair. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) sit at the center of these processes, but …
Ovarian cysts are common during pregnancy, and dermoid cysts are common benign ovarian tumors, affecting approximately 0.3% of pregnancies, most often detected in the second trimester. Hormonal changes and pressure …
Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a member of the neurotrophin family, is currently regarded as a key regulator of ovarian physiology beyond its well-known neurotrophic functions. The mammalian ovary is one …
Endometriomas are a frequent cause of infertility in reproductive-aged women, often requiring surgery. However, cystectomy for large endometriomas may reduce ovarian reserve, as indicated by decreased anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels. …
Fertility preservation options, including cryopreservation of oocytes, embryos, and ovarian tissue, were initially focused on women undergoing gonadotoxic chemotherapy for oncologic treatment. The indications have expanded to include nonmalignant conditions …
