Objective: Female mice exhibit progressive progesterone (P4) deficiency, luteal cell degeneration, and premature embryo implantation failure at 5 months old. We attempted to rescue embryo implantation in non-virgin mice (5-6 months old) with exogenous P4 treatment on days 1.5 post-coitum (D1.

Acquired uterine AVMs, often resulting from uterine trauma due to procedures like dilatation and curettage, can be life threatening, necessitating prompt diagnosis and management. Here we present a 34-year-old woman with a history of missed abortion and dilatation and curettage presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding 2 months postprocedure.

Modeling involves several steps, from determining the model purpose to developing the mathematical model, implementing it computationally, simulating the model's behavior, evaluating, and refining the model. Importantly, model simulation results must be reproducible, ensuring that other researchers can obtain the same results after writing the code de novo and/or using different software tools.

Just as collaboration can be an important strength, humankind's inability to detect deception is one of our greatest weaknesses. Recently, our struggles with deception detection have been the subject of scholarly and public attention with the rise and spread of misinformation online, which threatens public health and civic society.

This interorgan communication is supported by a complex signal network that regulates growth, development and environmental responses. Nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as a key signalling molecule in plants.
