Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disorder for which metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a central pathological feature. Driven by genetic, epigenetic, and microenvironmental stressors, ectopic endometrial cells undergo …
Female reproductive disorders are a leading cause of infertility, affecting millions of women worldwide and resulting in significant emotional and social challenges. Despite advances in medical science, current treatment options …
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a noninvasive treatment method, has attracted increasing attention in recent years for the management of gynaecological diseases. This review summarizes current literature on the application of …
Adiposity influences reproductive function via endocrine and immune pathways. The association between body mass index (BMI) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in endometriosis is uncertain, and BMI may not fully capture …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, organochlorine pesticides, and heavy metal ions, pose serious threats to reproductive health by interfering with hormonal balance and molecular signaling pathways. Recent …
Female infertility is a multifactorial condition with complex biological and clinical underpinnings. Biologically, female-related infertility may stem from disruptions in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, impaired folliculogenesis, oocyte maturation defects, uterine …
From an immunological perspective, infertility mechanisms encompass not only fertilization but also implantation, as well as both early and late pregnancy loss. Growing attention is being directed towards the influence …
Estrogen receptor α (ESR1) is a pivotal regulator of endometrial homeostasis and reproductive function, yet the coregulators that fine tune its transcriptional activity remain incompletely defined. In this issue of …
Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent disorder that affects about 10% of reproductive-age women. EMS affects female neuroendocrine and reproductive functions, greatly compromising female reproductive health and quality of life. However, …
Uterine contractility has emerged as a potential key element in the orchestration of female reproductive functions, with specific motility patterns seemingly aligning with hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle. These …
