INTRODUCTION: Embryonic stem cells (ESCs), capable of generating all adult cell types, hold transformative potential for agriculture and biomedicine. However, stable sheep ESCs derivation remains challenging, limiting their application in f…
During perimenopause and postmenopause, changes in estrogen exposure may alter mucosal barriers, microbial ecosystems, and inflammatory responsiveness across the oral and genitourinary tracts. These stages differ in their hormonal patterns,…
Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) is one of the most commonly occurring pathogens associated with genital tract infections in infertile males, but the impact of seminal UU infection in semen on intrauterine insemination (IUI) outcomes is poorly u…
BACKGROUND Primary retroperitoneal tumors (PRTs) are uncommon, with retroperitoneal dermoid cysts being particularly rare. The cystic cavity of mature cystic teratomas (dermoid cysts) is lined with squamous epithelium and primarily filled w…
INTRODUCTION: Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) is a common pathogen associated with genital tract infections in infertile males. However, its impact on semen quality, embryo development, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes remains underexp…
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that ubiquitin-mediated cell apoptosis can modulate protein interaction and involve in the progress of oocyte maturation and spermatogenesis. As one of the key regulators involved in ubiquitin signal, u…
Pregnancy loss (PL) is one of the common complications that women can experience during pregnancy, with an occurrence rate of 1 to 5%. The potential causes of pregnancy loss are unclear, with no effective treatment modalities being availabl…
CONTEXT: Genistein (Gen) has shown protective effects against ageing process. OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of Gen on the senescence of H2O2-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and investigate the possible mechanism. …
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) with conventional medical treatment in reducing heavy menstrual bleeding. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Relevant studies wer…
BACKGROUND: Identification of a non-invasive technique to assess embryo implantation potential in assisted reproduction would greatly increase success rates and lead more efficiently to single embryo transfer. Early studies suggested metabo…
