Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. There is a lack of effective biomarkers for early detection and revealing mechanisms of endometriosis. CSNK2A1 is a compositionally activ…

This case explored a novel surgical method to fix levonorgestrel 52-mg intrauterine devices in patients with adenomyosis and uterine septum. The procedure is convenient and feasible, and successfully applied the technique in a 43-year-old p…

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…

Growing evidence highlights the gut, reproductive tract, and endometrial microbiota as important functional contributors in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM). Studies have revealed a characteristic microbial imbalance in patients with …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopy combined with transvaginal ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for adenomyosis and to identify independent risk factors for postoperative symptomatic recurrenc…

High-throughput omics technologies have transformed our understanding of female reproductive biology, revealing molecular interactions governing oocyte maturation, ovarian reserve, endometrial receptivity, and embryo development, yet most f…

BACKGROUND: Hydrosalpinx affects 10-30% of infertile women, creating a hostile tubal microenvironment that impairs embryonic development. Although fluid embryotoxicity is recognised, specific toxic metabolites and their molecular mechanisms…

BACKGROUND: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is performed in over half of assisted reproductive technology cycles globally; however, the optimal interval between oocyte denudation and sperm injection remains undefined in clinical gui…

BACKGROUND: Elevated homocysteine (HCY) and hyperandrogenism are key metabolic disturbances in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but their relationship across different reproductive outcomes remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate outco…

OBJECTIVE: Preserving ovarian reserve function during single-port laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is crucial for women of reproductive age. This study aimed to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy and impact on ovarian reserve of three differen…

Adenomyosis (AM) commonly affects women of reproductive age and can impair female fertility, yet its diagnosis and pathogenesis remain challenging. We compared serum IgG1 Fc‑glycosylation profiles between AM patients (n = 30) and non‑AM con…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) are major causes of pathological early pregnancy, yet their mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify shared molecular mediators and…

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic ethanol sclerotherapy is a fertility-preserving alternative for ovarian endometriomas, but the appropriate ethanol exposure duration remains uncertain. We compared expectant management with 5- and 15-minute ethanol …

PURPOSE: Accurate prognostic prediction remains a significant challenge in the management of low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC), a rare and molecularly distinct histologic subtype. This study aimed to develop a prediction model visuali…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus transvaginal ethanol sclerotherapy in patients with ovarian endometriomas (OEMs). DESIGN: Preliminary retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Reproductive Medicine Re…

sFRP2, a member of the secreted frizzled-related protein family, is an extracellular protein characterized by a cysteine-rich domain and a netrin-like (NTR) domain. By modulating ligand availability, receptor selection, and microenvironment…

Ovarian endometriosis (OvE) is a gynecological disorder with endometrial tissue in the ovaries, for which effective non-invasive diagnosis and curative treatments are currently lacking. Serum samples were collected from both discovery and v…

During spaceflight, the female reproductive system undergoes substantial adaptation to microgravity and faces an increased risk of reproductive impairment. Mammalian oocytes remain arrested for extended periods at the first meiotic prophase…

Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by pain and infertility, remains a clinical challenge. Current hormonal and surgical treatments are often limited by side effects and high recurrence rates. In search of more eff…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue and is closely associated with pain and infertility. This review summarizes current evidence on immune dysregulation and emerging…

The rapid advances in epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulatory mechanisms have opened new prospects for precision therapies in various diseases. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is currently the only known eukaryotic RNA ac4C acetyltransfe…

Gynecologic diseases, including infectious disorders, endocrine-related conditions, gynecologic malignancies, and pregnancy complications, are clinically diverse yet frequently share features of hormonal imbalance, microbial dysbiosis, and …

Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast…

BACKGROUND: Rudimentary Horn Pregnancy (RHP) is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that can closely resemble abdominal pregnancy both clinically and on ultrasound imaging. Therefore, prompt diagnosis is essential to prevent s…

BACKGROUND: This study investigates whether the timing of first sexual intercourse is associated with the risk of developing endometriosis and adenomyosis, aiming to shed light on early-life reproductive factors that may influence women's l…
