The relationship among polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometrial cancer (EC), and glycometabolism remains unclear. We explored shared genes between PCOS and EC, using bioinformatics to unveil their pathogenic connection and influence on EC prognosis. Gene Expression Omnibus datasets GSE226146 (PCOS) and GSE196033 (EC) were used.

Objective: Various stem cell-loaded scaffolds have demonstrated promising endometrial regeneration and fertility restoration. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of stem cell-loaded scaffolds in treating uterine injury in animal models.

Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched.

Background: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) results from serious complications of intrauterine surgery or infection and mostly remains incurable. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a potential new approach for the treatment of IUA; however, their impact is not fully understood. Here, we performed a meta-analysis summarizing the effects of sEVs on IUA in preclinical rodent models.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological cancers, and its risk factors include obesity and metabolic, genetic, and other factors. Recently, the circadian rhythm has also been shown to be associated with EC, as the severity of EC was found to be related to night work and rhythm disorders. Therefore, circadian rhythm disorders (CRDs) may be one of the metabolic diseases underlying EC.

Article Synopsis
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder that leads to issues like infertility and imposes economic challenges on families and society.
  • Symptoms often include high levels of male hormones, irregular ovulation, and changes in ovarian structure, frequently related to obesity and insulin resistance.
  • Recent research highlights the role of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) in regulating both reproductive and metabolic functions, suggesting that targeting NPY and its receptors might provide new therapeutic options for improving the condition of women with PCOS.

Article Synopsis
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a reproductive disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by symptoms like hormonal imbalances, irregular menstruation, and metabolic issues such as insulin resistance and obesity.
  • The exact causes of PCOS are still not well understood, but recent research suggests that changes in circadian rhythms may trigger the condition through oxidative stress and inflammation.
  • Exosomes, tiny vesicles that facilitate cell communication, may play a significant role in PCOS by transporting molecular signals, indicating that their interaction with circadian rhythms could be a key factor in the syndrome's development and potential treatment strategies.

Background: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is the main cause of female infertility. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are ideal candidates for the treatment of POI. However, some deficient biological characteristics of ADSCs limit their utility.

Objective: Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) are a major cause of female infertility. Stem cells can be used to restore endometrial function owing to their regenerative abilities. We compared the safety and efficacy of autologous and allogeneic stem cell treatments in patients with recurrent IUA after conventional therapy based on a systematic review of the related literature.

Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a rare gynecological condition. This disease causes menstrual disturbances, infertility, and various health problems. Historically, hormone replacement therapy is the first-line treatment for this disorder.

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is an endometrial fibrosis disease caused by repeated operations of the uterus and is a common cause of female infertility. In recent years, treatment using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been proposed by many researchers and is now widely used in clinics because of the low immunogenicity of MSCs. It is believed that allogeneic MSCs can be used to treat IUA because MSCs express only low levels of MHC class I molecules and no MHC class II or co-stimulatory molecules.

Background: The objective was to explore the therapeutic effect of autologous adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) combined with ShakeGel™3D transplantation to activate the BMP7-Smad5 signaling pathway to treat intrauterine adhesions (IUA).

Methods: Autologous ADSCs were isolated and then merged with ShakeGel™3D. The IUA model was established by mechanical injury.

Female infertility impacts the quality of life and well-being of affected individuals and couples. Female reproductive diseases, such as primary ovarian insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, fallopian tube obstruction, and Asherman syndrome, can induce infertility. In recent years, translational medicine has developed rapidly, and clinical researchers are focusing on the treatment of female infertility using novel approaches.
