BACKGROUND: The hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is widely used for endometrial preparation in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET), but non-physiological estrogen levels may increase pregnancy complications. This study examined whether red…
BACKGROUND: The achievement of a healthy live birth from a singleton pregnancy has become the primary objective of modern Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Consequently, the effective utilization of a single blastocyst is of paramount…
BACKGROUND: Several studies have demonstrated that pre-treatment with long-acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone agonists (GnRHa) can significantly enhance the clinical pregnancy rate among recurrent implantation failure (RIF) patients. Inv…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) transplantation on ovarian function in women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and its potential to improve in vitro f…
Endometrial collagen I undergoes dynamic degradation and remodelling in response to endometrial stromal cell (ESC) decidualization and embryo implantation. However, excessive collagen I deposition in the endometrium during the implantation …
BACKGROUND: The objective of this research was to elucidate the association between the length of infertility and the outcomes of intrauterine insemination (IUI) in women of varying ages - a topic that has been the subject of investigation …
BACKGROUND: Although repeated cryopreservation is an occasional occurrence, the effect on perinatal outcomes is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the perinatal outcomes of singletons after embryo re-cryopreservation.…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the most used endometrial preparation protocols for frozen embryo transfer (FET) due to the convenience of its administration and stability of pregnancy outcomes. There are seve…
BACKGROUND: Timely and moderate luteinizing hormone (LH) supplementation plays positive roles in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) cycles with long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormon…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does adenomyosis affect IVF independent of decreased ovarian reserve, and what are the characteristics and IVF outcome of the ultra-long gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist protocol in adenomyosis? DESIGN: Obs…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of IL-10 in regulating the receptivity marker HOXA10 in the endometrium of women with adenomyosis. METHODS: The expression levels of IL-10, HOXA-10, STAT3, and p-STAT3 …
BACKGROUND: Decidualization is a prerequisite for successful implantation and the establishment of pregnancy. A critical role of impaired decidualization in subfertility has been established. In human endometrial stromal cells (hESCs), Krüp…
BACKGROUND: Decidualization is a prerequisite for successful implantation and the establishment of pregnancy. Krüppel-like factor 12 (KLF12) is a negative regulator of endometrial decidualization in vitro. We investigated whether KLF12 was …
