Obesity triggers ovarian dysfunction and female infertility accompanied by granulosa cell damage. Ferroptosis, iron-dependent lipid peroxidation-mediated cell death, participates in multiple reproductive diseases, yet the molecular cascade …
BACKGROUND: Zona pellucida (ZP) plays an important role in oocyte development and fertilisation, as well as in early embryo development. However, there is currently no exploration of systematic categorising and clinical treatment measures f…
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the role of the c-Fos/estrogen receptors (ERs)/mTOR pathway in lipid metabolism in human follicular granulosa cells of individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Specifically, we aim to determine w…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is it possible to predict blastocyst quality, embryo chromosomal ploidy, and clinical pregnancy outcome after single embryo transfer from embryo developmental morphokinetic parameters? DESIGN: The morphokinetic parameter…
Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the most incurable form of male infertility with a complex etiology. Long non-cording RNAs (lncRNAs) were associated with regulating spermatogenesis. Herein, differentially expressed lncRNAs between NOA …
BACKGROUND: The mechanism of recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is unclear at present and poor endometrial receptivity may be one of the leading reasons. This study aims to construct a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and identify…
BACKGROUND: Decreased endometrial thickness (EMT) has been suggested to be associated with reduced birthweight of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) newborns. Considering the differences in ovarian stimulatio…
BACKGROUND: Peak endometrial thickness (EMT), measured on the end of follicular phase or early luteal phase, is the most widely used marker for endometrial receptivity during infertility treatment. However, the clinical significance of foll…
