The ovary is an important organ for women to maintain reproductive and endocrine functions. Ovarian aging can lead to female reproductive aging, which is a key factor causing rapid aging of the female body. Umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) play a therapeutic role in various degenerative diseases.

However, there are few studies on protective interventions for naturally aging uteri. Although many factors cause uterine aging, such as oxidative stress (OS), inflammation, and fibrosis, their impact on uterine function manifests as reduced endometrial receptivity.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the most common medical pregnancy complication, has become a growing problem. More and more studies have shown that microRNAs are closely related to metabolic processes. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of up-regulation of miR-199a-5p expression in GDM.

At present, there is no effective treatment method for severe IUA and uterine basal injury with adhesion area larger than one-third of the uterus. In this study, we prepared FGF1 silk sericin hydrogel material (FGF1-SS hydrogel) to treat endometrial injury and prevent endometrial fibrosis.

Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) have attracted interest for the repair of intrauterine adhesions. The current study investigated the repair of thin endometrium in rats using the UC-MSCs and the mechanisms involved.

Materials And Methods: qRT-PCR was used to detect the differential expression of in the serum of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and normal pregnant women, and to verify the functional target gene of miR-21 by double fluorescence experiments. Cellular experiments were performed to verify the effect of on cell function.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a disease that changes the function of microvascular of placenta. MicroRNA (miRNA) expression in placenta may contribute to the pathogenesis of GDM. Here, we evaluate the role and function of in the development of GDM.

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a persistent environmental pollutant, can induce neural tube abnormal development in animals. The possible effects of DBP exposure on human neural tube defects (NTDs) remain elusive. In this study, the distribution of DBP in the body fluid of human NTDs was detected by GC-MS.

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation is effective in repairing the damaged endometrium. However, the possibility of using umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) to treat endometrial injury is rarely reported.
