Scope: Uterine receptivity is a major restriction of embryo implantation and survival, and the endometrial luminal epithelium serves as the transient gateway for uterine receptivity and embryo implantation. Butyrate is reported to promote the success of embryo implantation, but the effects and mechanism of butyrate on uterine receptivity are still unknown.
Methods And Results: Porcine endometrial epithelial cells (PEECs) are used as a model, and the cellular receptivity changes, metabolism, and gene expression profiles influenced by butyrate are analyzed. The study finds that butyrate improves receptive changes in PEECs, including inhibiting proliferation, exhibiting more pinocytosis on the cell surface, and increasing adhesiveness to porcine trophoblast cells. In addition, butyrate increases prostaglandin synthesis and markedly impacts purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, and the FoxO signaling pathway. siRNA to inhibit the expression of FoxO1 and chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) of H3K9ac are used to demonstrate that the H3K9ac/FoxO1/PCNA pathway can contribute to the effects of cell proliferation inhibition and uterine receptivity improvement induced by butyrate.
Conclusion: The findings reveal that butyrate improves endometrial epithelial cell receptivity by enhancing the acetylation of histone H3K9, which shows nutritional regulation and therapeutic potential for poor uterine receptivity and difficulty in embryo implantation.

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an important factor contributing to infertility in reproductive-aged women. Hyperandrogenism (HA) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. This study was conducted to explore the follicular development and endometrial receptivity of different androgen phenotypes in reproductive-aged patients with PCOS.

Background: The blastocyst-stage embryo has been considered more advantageous for increasing the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) at fresh embryo transfer (ET) compared to the cleavage-stage embryo. However, it remains uncertain whether this advantage extends to specialized subpopulations, such as women with thin endometrium (TE), who are characteristic of impaired endometrial receptivity. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the difference in the CLBR between cleavage-stage and blastocyst-stage embryos at fresh ET specifically in women with TE.

Embryo implantation involves a complex interaction between the embryo and the endometrium of the mother, the study of which faces a variety of problems. The modeling of endometrial epithelial organoids and endometrial assembloids provides a new way to study the process of embryo implantation . This paper summarized the latest research progress in embryo implantation, the regulation mechanism of endometrial receptivity by estrogen- progesterone coordination and embryo-derived signals, the establishment of endometrial organoids, and the development and application of endometrial assembloids in the research on mother-embryo interaction, providing new strategies for studying the communication between embryo and maternal uterus during implantation.

Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have shown certain benefits in assisted in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of the combination of acupuncture combined with the Bushen Quyu decoction in patients with failures of IVF-ET. This study was conducted at Shanghai Yangpu District Hospital of TCM from May to November of 2021.

Background: To evaluate the risk factors associated with WOI (window of implantation) displacement based on ERT (endometrial receptivity test), and to confirm the association of ectopic pregnancy with WOI displacement.
Methods: This is a retrospective study at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Xiangya Hospital from January 2020 to April 2024, consisting of 934 patients who performed ERT. The patients underwent 3771 assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles and 2629 embryo transfer (ET) cycles, with each patient experiencing at least one implantation failure.
