Presence of embryo-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in spent culture medium (SCM) represents a promising non-invasive alternative to the conventional preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). The present study evaluated the feasibility of …
Which patients with endometriosis suffer from diminished ovarian reserve as well as impaired embryo quality and therefore could benefit from medical freezing as part of fertility preservation strategies?
Mycotoxins are widespread food contaminants, and urinary biomarkers reflect recent dietary exposure. Although mycotoxins have been implicated in reproductive toxicity, their impact on human oocyte and embryo development remains poorly …
This narrative review explores contemporary therapeutic options and critically assesses surgical results and in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes in women affected by endometriosis, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and/or …
This study aims to analyze the clinical factors affecting embryo quality and quantity in endometriosis patients undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET), thereby providing a reference …
Background: Endometriosis is associated with infertility and impaired assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, potentially due to an altered follicular microenvironment characterized by chronic inflammation. This study investigates the systemic and …
In women with unilateral endometriosis, how do ovarian endometriomas and their inflammatory content affect oocyte and embryo quality in affected versus healthy ovaries, and what is the impact on ART …
This systematic review aimed to summarize the effects of astaxanthin (ASX) supplementation on oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic regulation in human studies. A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, Web …
Do iron metabolism and ferroptosis influence oocyte and embryo quality in patients with endometriosis undergoing IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or in a mouse model?
To analyse levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in follicular fluid in patients with endometrioma, and determine their effect on embryo quality and other relevant influencing factors in in-vitro fertilization …
