Adenomyosis (ADM) is a benign condition associated with various gynecological disorders. However, effective treatment options are limited, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic targets. This study identified abnormal activation…
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) are fibrotic scars that impair endometrial regeneration, and compromise fertility. Emerging evidence implicates circular RNAs (circRNAs) in fibrotic remodeling, but it remains unclear how the circRNA…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis-associated pain presents a significant clinical challenge due to its complex nature, often manifesting as mixed pain types and hyperalgesia, with current treatments offering limited relief. Previous studies have mostl…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding mammary gland hyperplasia (MGH) in adult women from Shandong province, China. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. SETTING: This study was conducted in Shandong…
The paradigm shift of lactate from a mere metabolic byproduct to a pleiotropic signaling molecule, coupled with the discovery of lactylation, provides a crucial framework for understanding how metabolic reprogramming drives systemic patholo…
De novo mutations (DNMs) are an important source of congenital diseases. With delayed parenthood and assisted reproductive technology (ART) use increasing, it is essential to elucidate how these reproductive factors influence DNMs and wheth…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by immune microenvironment dysregulation, with the IL-33/ST2L signaling axis playing a crucial role in macrophage polarization and disease progression. Despite growin…
Chronic pain remains a major clinical challenge, creating a need for safe, non-pharmacological interventions. This narrative mini-review examines two light-based approaches that differ in their sites of action and treatment parameters: visu…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive and metabolic disorder with a complex and yet unresolved etiology. Although ovulation induction therapy can improve ovulatory function, the natural pregnancy rate and pregnancy outco…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is a major female reproductive health issue with heterogeneous biological features on its subtypes, which may require different therapeutic strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists were repor…
BACKGROUND: This study aims to use non-targeted metabolomics to analyze the metabolic characteristics of follicular fluid in patients with decreased ovarian reserve (DOR) and explore the mediating role of these metabolites in DOR and assist…
Metabolic determinants of oocyte quality and embryonic development remain incompletely understood. Here, we profiled metabolites in human cumulus cells (CCs) and follicular fluid (FF), validated in two mouse models, and integrated transcrip…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is characterized by pain symptoms that seriously affect patients' quality of life. Gut microbiome-related metabolites (GMRM) play an important role in the process of EMS. However, the role of GMRM in endometr…

Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a calcium-dependent protein with high affinity for phospholipids, and its multifunctional nature has drawn increasing attention in the onset and progression of various disorders of the female reproductive system (FRS).…
Endometriosis (EMS) remains understudied in effective management strategies. The interplay between macrophage dysfunction and microbiota-derived immune signals emerges as a potential mechanism in EMS pathogenesis, suggesting its relevance f…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease linked to infertility. Coagulation-related processes may contribute to lesion persistence and pelvic remodeling, but the relevance of coagulation parameters in women with infertili…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to analyze the clinical data within one year of the patients who underwent hysteroscopic endometrial polypectomy with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) insertion, and to identify the risk fa…
BackgroundAutoimmune abnormalities are increasingly recognized as contributing factors to unexplained infertility. Among these, antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are the most frequently detected autoantibodies and have been associated with adve…
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide, has been implicated in autoimmune diseases, endometriosis, tumors, and primary headaches, including migraine. The development of a novel, fast-acting CGRP receptor antagonist administe…
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, repeated oocyte retrieval cycles are often necessary for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). It has been hypothesized that the mechanical stimulation from the initial oocyte pick-up (OPU) proced…
