Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are vital sources of variation for genetic improvement, but their populations are few in genebanks, eroded in natural habitats and inadequately characterized. With...
Whether pretreatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) can improve the pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles is controversial. The inconsistencie...
Long-term gynecologic data are lacking to inform the care of patients with cloacal malformations. We seek to examine perceived sexual and reproductive health challenges of patients born with...
Our aim was to describe the reproductive decisions and outcomes of BRCA-positive patients who used preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M).We performed a retrospectiv...
Chalcone synthase (CHS), also known as the plants-specific type III polyketide synthases (PKSs), catalyzes the first key step in the biosynthesis of plant flavonoids. Flavonoids are one of t...
Interleukin 22 (IL-22) plays a role in inflammatory diseases. However, whether IL-22 affects the function of ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) and its relationship with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome...
In plant breeding, one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to increase genetic gain is to reduce the breeding cycle time. In general, modern breeding methods for self-pollinated cr...
Oocyte maturation arrest results in female infertility and the genetic etiology of this phenotype remains largely unknown. Previous studies have proven that cyclins play a significant role i...
The debate about contraception has become increasingly important as more and more people seek safe and effective contraception. More than 1 billion women of reproductive age worldwide need a...
To identify new mutations in DNAH17 that cause male infertility and analyze intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes in patients with DNAH17 mutations.A total of five cases of new DN...
Chemotherapeutic drugs can cause reproductive damage by affecting sperm quality and other aspects of male fertility. Stem cells are thought to alleviate the damage caused by chemotherapy dru...
Endometriosis is a common cause of deep dyspareunia, while provoked vestibulodynia is a common cause of superficial dyspareunia. The etiology of dyspareunia in both conditions is multifactor...
The main objective of this in vivo study was to investigate the effect of different low-level laser therapy (LLLT) doses on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In the present experimental stud...
This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value as diagnosis makers of cancer antigen (CA)125, human epididymis 4 (HE4), and CA72-4 serum levels in ovarian endometriosis (OvEndo).The serum...
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic multifactorial disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The clear etiopathogenesis of EM is unclear. Increasing evidenc...
Granulosa cells (GC) are critical regulators of fertility. During the process of ovarian folliculogenesis, these cells undergo profound changes while producing steroid hormones that are impo...
The BMPR1B and BMP15 genes are well known for their considerable associations with prolificacy in sheep. These genes may also affect fertility or prolificacy in other species, including huma...
Mammalian sperm flagellum contains the midpiece characterized by a mitochondrial sheath that packs tightly around the axoneme and outer dense fibers. Mitochondria are known as the "powerhous...
Oftentimes ignored or infrequently expressed, some transgender persons harbor a desire for parenthood. Given the evolution of medical techniques and the enacting of legislative reforms, it i...
Despite the knowledge that the soil-plant-microbiome nexus is shaped by interactions amongst its members, very little is known about how individual symbioses regulate this shaping. Even less...
