STUDY QUESTION: Does abnormal serotonin homeostasis contribute to impaired endometrial decidualization in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Abnormal serotonin homeostasis in patients with RIF, which is acc…
BACKGROUND: Reduced endometrium thickness and receptivity are two important reasons for recurrent implantation failure (RIF). In order to elucidate differences between these two types of endometrial defects in terms of molecular signatures,…
BACKGROUND: Poor decidualization and abnormal autophagy conditions in the endometria of adenomyosis patients have been reported previously. However, the specific regulatory mechanism of decidualization in adenomyosis and its relationship wi…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by invasion of the uterine endometrium into the muscle layer. In assisted reproductive technology (ART), gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) is often used t…
The establishment of endometrial receptivity is a prerequisite for successful pregnancy. Women with adenomyosis possess a lower chance of clinical pregnancy after assisted reproductive technology, which is partially due to impaired endometr…
