Background: One potential cause of implantation failure is abnormal endometrial receptivity, and how to objectively evaluate endometrial receptivity has been a matter of great concern. Endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA), a next-generation sequencing-based test that assesses endometrial gene expression, may be valuable in predicting endometrial receptivity, but whether ERA improves pregnancy outcomes in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is currently controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ERA on pregnancy outcomes in patients with RIF.

Biocompatible Lyotropic Nanocarriers for Improved Delivery of Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate in Skincare.

Langmuir

January 2025

Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate (VC-IP) is a novel form of ascorbic acid characterized by reduced water solubility due to complete acylation with palmitate. This study investigated the potential cosmetic application of VC-IP when encapsulated in lyotropic liquid crystal nanoparticles (VC-IP LCNPs) by using a high-pressure homogenization (HPH) method. The particle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index (PDI) of the obtained VC-IP LCNPs were determined as 158.

Modulation of placental angiogenesis by metformin in a rat model of gestational diabetes.

Histochem Cell Biol

January 2025

Medical Histology and Cell Biology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, Mansoura, 35516, Egypt.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) significantly disrupts placental structure and function, leading to complications such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia. This study aimed to investigate the effects of GDM on placental histology, angiogenesis, and oxidative stress, as well as evaluate metformin's protective role in mitigating these changes. A total of 60 pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: control, metformin-treated, GDM, and GDM with metformin.

Effects of vaginal microbiota on fertilization outcomes in women with different infertility causes.

Microbiol Spectr

January 2025

School of Public Health, the Key Laboratory of Environmental Pollution Monitoring and Disease Control, Ministry of Education, Guizhou Medical University, Guiyang, Guizhou, China.

Unlabelled: Backed by advancements in technologies like microbial sequencing, many studies indicate that the vaginal microbiome is a key marker of female reproductive health. However, further studies are still needed to investigate the correlation between vaginal microbiota (VMB) and outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Therefore, this study compared the VMB of two types of infertile women undergoing fertilization (IVF) with normal control women during the implantation window period and investigated the effects of VMB characteristics on IVF outcomes.

Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by lower lip pits and orofacial clefts (OFCs). With a prevalence of approximately 1 in 35,000 live births, it is the most common form of syndromic clefting and may account for ~2% of all OFCs. The majority of VWS is attributed to genetic variants in IRF6 (~70%) or GRHL3 (~5%), leaving up to 25% of individuals with VWS without a molecular diagnosis.
