AI Article Synopsis
- * Various vitrification solutions and methods, often adapted from embryo and oocyte procedures, have shown differing results across species; however, recent findings suggest vitrification may provide equal or better outcomes compared to traditional freezing.
- * Understanding the impact of vitrification solutions on ovarian tissue, particularly preantral follicles, and employing diverse methods to evaluate tissue functionality and oocyte quality are crucial for validating the positive results observed in vitrification studies.
Article Abstract
Because of the simplicity of vitrification, many authors have investigated it as an alternative to slow freezing for cryopreserving ovarian tissue. In the last decade, numerous studies have evaluated vitrification of ovarian tissue from both humans and animals.Different vitrification solutions and protocols, mostly adapted from embryo and oocyte vitrification, have been applied. The results have been discrepant from species to species and even within the same species, but lately they appear to indicate that vitrification can achieve similar or even superior results to conventional freezing. Despite the encouraging results obtained with vitrification of ovarian tissue from humans and different animal species, it is necessary to understand how vitrification solutions and protocols can affect ovarian tissue, notably preantral follicles. In addition, it is important to bear in mind that the utilization of different approaches to assess tissue functionality and oocyte quality is essential in order to validate the promising results already obtained with vitrification procedures. This review summarizes the principles of vitrification, discusses the advantages of vitrification protocols for ovarian tissue cryopreservation and describes different studies conducted on the vitrification of ovarian tissue in humans and animal species.

The mortality rate of ovarian cancer (OC) remains the highest among female gynecological malignancies. Advanced age is the highest risk factor for OC development and progression, yet little is known about the role of the aged tumor microenvironment (TME). We conducted RNA sequencing and lipidomic analysis of young and aged gonadal adipose tissue from rat xenografts before and after OC formation.

Dual-double stem cell therapy, which integrates mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), represents a cutting-edge approach in regenerative medicine, particularly for conditions such as ovarian decline, premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and induced ovarian failure. This therapy leverages the unique properties of MSCs and HSCs, enhancing tissue repair, immune modulation, and overall regenerative outcomes. MSCs, known for their ability to differentiate into various cell types, provide a supportive microenvironment and secrete bioactive molecules that promote angiogenesis and reduce inflammation.

The downregulation of anti-adhesive regulatory proteins and upregulation of adhesive genes are critical for the receptive endometrium. This study was designed to determine whether switching between the anti-adhesive podocalyxin (PDX) and adhesive HOXA10 receptivity modulator occurs in the endometrium of women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Twenty-four patients with RIF who could not conceive for three or more cycles despite good-quality embryo transfer constituted the study group.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a prevalent gynecological malignancy with a relatively dismal prognosis. The SGT1 homolog (SUGT1) protein, which interacts with heat shock protein 90 and is essential for the G1/S and G2/M transitions, was formerly thought to be a cancer promoter, but its precise role in OC remains unknown.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of SUGT1 expression in patients with OC compared with their normal controls, including the data from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA), genotype-tissue expression (GTEx) databases, gene ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encylopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA).

PCOS is a common endocrine disorder in women particularly in their reproductive age. GABA has been implicated in the pathogenesis of PCOS through its central role in the hypothalamus. Hence, in this study we investigated the effect of Nipecotic acid (NPA) in Letrozole induced PCOS in female Wistar rats as NPA has been proven as a GABA uptake inhibitor.
