Article Synopsis
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects about 10% of women of reproductive age, leading to infertility, and the study investigates proteins that may cause issues with endometrial receptivity in these patients.
  • Researchers used a shotgun proteomics approach to compare the endometrial protein profiles of PCOS patients during the luteal phase with those of healthy individuals, finding 150 proteins with higher abundance and 46 with lower abundance in PCOS patients.
  • The study reveals significant metabolic and protein imbalances in the endometrial tissue of PCOS patients, which may hinder implantation and reproductive success, though further research is needed to confirm these findings on a larger scale.*

Derivation of cardiomyocytes directly from patients' own fibroblasts could offer a new therapeutic approach for those with ischemic heart disease. An essential step toward clinical application is to establish safe conversion of human fibroblasts into a cardiac fate. Here we aimed to efficiently and safely generate cardiomyocytes from human fibroblasts by direct delivery of reprogramming recombinant cell permeant form of reprogramming proteins followed by cardio-inductive signals.

Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) is an immediate downstream target of the Rho GTPase signaling pathway which participates in transducing the Rho GTPase signal to the actin cytoskeleton, leading to the assembly of focal adhesions and stress fibers. Competitive inhibition of ROCK enhances post-thaw viability, improves cloning efficiency and decreases anoikis in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). The molecular mechanisms by which ROCK inhibition mediates such responses are largely unknown.
