Ovarian stimulation (OS) is one of the key factors in the success of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), by enabling the recruitment of numerous healthy fertilizable oocytes and, thereby, multiple...
Compaction is an important marker of embryonic genome activation and marks a critical step in the development to blastocyst. The objective of our study was to determine whether visualization of the embryonic c...
Erectile dysfunction is a common problem in males of couples experiencing pregnancy loss. Erectile dysfunction in males with couple infertile has been extensively investigated and found to be closely linked wi...
Metformin is the gold standard insulin sensitizer, which is widely used to treat insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, metformin may induce gastrointestinal side effects.
Uterine leiomyomas (UL) are the most common benign tumor in women of reproductive age. Their pathology remains unclear, which hampers the development of safe and effective treatments. Raising evidence suggests...
To construct prediction models based on the Bayesian network (BN) learning method for the probability of fertilization failure (including low fertilization rate [LRF] and total fertilization failure [TFF]) in ...
Accumulating studies suggest that strict lockdown with enforcement including segregation to control the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is associated with excess weight gain, but the such lockdown...
Human embryos express the prolactin (PRL) receptor at the morula and blastocyst stages. Treatment with PRL from cleavage to the blastocyst stage improves blastocyst outgrowth on fibronectin-coated dishes. Howe...
Infertility affects one in every six couples in developed countries, and approximately 50% is of male origin. In 2021, sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) testing became an evidence-based test for fertility evaluati...
Emerging evidence of immunological dysfunction have been described in endometriosis. Dendritic cells (DCs), one of the main antigen-presenting cells, are specialized in the initiation and modulation of the ada...
COVID-19 infection has been linked with erectile dysfunction, which has also raised apprehensions about the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on male sexual functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate...
