Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and progesterone receptor (PGR) are essential regulators for endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation. Their expression is dysregulated in women with endometriosis-associated infertility. However, the relationship between …
Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems provide physiologically relevant models that better replicate in vivo cell architecture and function compared to the conventional two-dimensional cultures. In reproductive biology, 3D models of endometrial …
Infertility constitutes a major global health concern, affecting approximately 17.5% of couples of reproductive age. Although advances in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have expanded treatment options, success rates remain highly …
The likelihood of a successful pregnancy is influenced by a set of variables that influence endometrial receptivity, including hormonal, genetic, metabolic, age, lifestyle, and immunological factors. Among these, the endometrial …
Endometrial receptivity is essential for successful pregnancy, and endometriosis is widely recognized as a disruptor of this process. Poor endometrial receptivity is also a key factor contributing to recurrent implantation …
Endometriosis is a frequent chronic estrogen-dependent condition that can significantly impair fertility and reduce the quality of life in affected individuals. Women with endometriosis face a 30-50% risk of infertility. …
The immunology of fertilization, implantation and pregnancy is based on a complex balance between maternal immune tolerance and a controlled inflammatory response. Adaptation of the maternal immune system is essential …
Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are central to peripheral immune tolerance and act as key players that sustain the immune homeostasis required for embryo receptivity, implantation, and placentation. Treg dysfunction accelerates inflammation, …
Endometriosis is diagnosed in 25% to 40% of infertile patients. This disease can affect ovarian reserve and oocyte quality, as a result Assisted Reproductive Technology is often required. However, the …
Endometriosis impairs fertility by interfering with ovarian function, embryonic development, and endometrial receptivity. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are recognised as non-invasive biomarkers that may indicate biological processes based on their lipid, …
