BACKGROUND: In assisted reproductive technology (ART) laboratories, semen processing is traditionally performed using manual density gradient centrifugation (DGC), which is labor intensive, time consuming, and subject to inter-technician va…

OBJECTIVE: To compare cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) between preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) and conventional IVF/ICSI in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (uRPL) using intention-to-treat (ITT) and p…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the clinical predictors of achieving a clinical pregnancy differ between fresh and frozen embryo transfer cycles in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) undergoing their first ART treatment af…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory gynaecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Early diagnosis remains challenging because definitive diagnosis still relies on invasive surgical co…

Organoids are three-dimensional multicellular structures derived from stem cells or primary tissues that recapitulate key structural and functional features of native organs. Advances in stem cell biology, biomaterials, and bioengineering h…

This study investigated fertility-related quality of life among married women of reproductive age (20-45 years) with endometriosis-associated infertility, focusing on the mediating role of family resilience between infertility-related stres…

BACKGROUND: The increasing global incidence of endometrial cancer (EC) underscores the urgent need for effective early detection. Noninvasive detection approaches, such as transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), frequently exhibit low specifici…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive disorders in women and severely impairs fertility. Extant clinical studies can only provide indirect and plausible evidence to support endometrial dysfunction as an ova…

BACKGROUND: Cotton phenol is a yellowish-brown polyphenol hydroxybinaphthyl aldehyde compound mainly found in the roots, stems, leaves and seeds of cotton; a plant of the mallow family that has been widely used in the study of antifertility…

DNA methylation is a common endogenous chemical modification in eukaryotic DNA, primarily involving the covalent attachment of a methyl group to the fifth carbon of cytosine residues, leading to the formation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). This…

PURPOSE: Maternal age-related fertility decline is considered to be directly attributed to either embryonic or endometrial factors. Aneuploidy, as the dominant defect in aging embryos, has long diverted attention away from the effects of en…

Whether and how endometrial aging affects fertility remains unclear. In our in-house clinical cohort at the Center for Reproductive Medicine of Peking University Third Hospital (n = 1,149), we observed adverse pregnancy outcomes in the midd…

BACKGROUND: The role of estrogen in liver cancer cells has attracted attention, but its specific actions and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS: Flow CytoMetry and Western blotting were used to investigate the mechanism of HOXA1…

The increased risk of infertility and endometrial lesions (such as endometrial hyperplasia or cancer) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are closely associated with the lack of cyclical transformation in the endometrium. However, the under…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of assisted reproductive technology (ART) on the risk of cerebral palsy (CP) in offspring. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus databases for observation…

ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) compared to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) alone in couples undergoing ICSI treatment because of severe male infertility.DesignMulticentre,…

OBJECTIVE: Emerging evidence links endometriosis with co-exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates; however, their combined toxicogenomic mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the shared molecular pathways of BPA and phthala…

BACKGROUND: The sirtuin family is well recognized for its crucial involvement in various cellular processes. Nevertheless, studies on its role in the human endometrium are limited. This study aimed to explore the expression and localization…

BACKGROUND: The occurrence of postoperative depression and anxiety in patients with endometriosis (EMS) not only causes psychological distress, but may also harm their physical health. AIM: To explore the postoperative depression status, a…

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical and imaging characteristics of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS). METHODS: This study presented an observational case series involving consecutive patients diagnosed with HWWS, whose medical records…

Telomere attrition plays a critical role in the reproductive aging process in humans. Telomere length (TL) is typically regulated by telomerase, the main component of which is telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). The aim of the present …

RATIONALE: Sex cord-stromal tumors are always found in ovary, but the occurrence of this kind of tumor at extraovarian locations is extremely rare. Up to now, the case concerning fibrothecoma of broad ligament with minor sex cord elements h…

HMGB1 that belongs to the High Mobility Group-box superfamily, is a nonhistone chromatin associated transcription factor. It is present in the nucleus of eukaryotes and can be actively secreted or passively released by kinds of cells. HMGB1…

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a kind of lymphocytes that reside in the tissue and have an essential function in the immune microenvironment. However, the relationship between endometriosis (EMS) and ILCs is complex and not fully understo…

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a complex multifactorial disease. Recently, the microbiota of the female reproductive tract, as an emerging factor in RSA, has gradually attracted the attention of many clinical researchers. Here, we …
