The age-related decline in oocyte quality constitutes a major cause of reduced female fertility. In this study, we investigated the potential of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) to counteract oocyte deterioration during reproductive ag…

PURPOSE: To screen drug targets of ovarian aging from a genetic perspective. METHODS: Systematic analyses were conducted with cis-expression quantitative trait loci data of druggable genes extracted as instrument variables. Summary statist…

Iron is an essential micronutrient element for human. It participates in energy metabolism, enzyme activation, immune system and other metabolic functions. In this review, the potential role of iron in female reproductive health were consid…

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) was characterized by endometrial fibrosis, leading primarily to hypomenorrhea, infertility and recurrent miscarriage. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is now recognized as a key factor in the development o…

BACKGROUND: Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is often related to adverse neonatal outcomes. But it's currently controversial whether pSS has an adverse effect on female fertility and clinical pregnancy condition. More importantly, it's unclea…

OBJECTIVE: Additive human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG)/recombinant luteinizing hormone (r-LH) to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) can improve pregnancy outcomes in patients with poor ovarian response during assisted reproductive procedur…

INTRODUCTION: The optimal dosage of recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-hLH) and its impact on endometrial thickness (EMT) when administered alongside recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) during controlled ovarian st…

The vaginal microbiome plays an essential role in the reproductive health of human females. As infertility increases worldwide, understanding the roles that the vaginal microbiome may have in infertility and in vitro fertilization (IVF) tre…

BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is often associated with adverse reproductive outcomes. But it's currently unclear regarding the role of SLE in oocyte and embryonic development. Also, it's controversial whether SLE has an adv…

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common chronic complications in diabetes. Previous studies have shown that chronic neuroinflammation was associated with DPN. However, further research is needed to investigate the exa…
