Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

Review Article: Targeting Peroxisome Proliferator‐Activated Receptors in Primary Biliary Cholangitis
Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (PPAR) agonists have emerged as important second‐line treatments in primary biliary cholangitis, with profiles influenced by different selectivity for α‐, δ‐ and γ‐isoforms. PPAR‐α and PPAR‐δ agonism improve cholestasis, with inflammation reduced via all isoforms. PPAR‐δ agonism also reduces pruritus.

Cytochrome P450 1A1 influences obesity‐induced pulmonary hypertension
Background and Purpose The contribution of obesity to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Adipose tissue synthesises estrogens via cytochrome P450 (CYP) 19A1 (aromatase), whereas circulating estrogens are metabolised in the lung by CYP1A1.

Critical role of the mast cell/tryptase/PAR2 axis in anastrozole‐induced pain
Abstract Background and Purpose Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, is used to treat postmenopausal women with hormone receptor‐positive breast cancer, but also induces musculoskeletal pain and can lead to therapeutic regimen suspension. Aromatase inhibitors promote the release of pro‐inflammatory substances from sensitised nerve fibres, which might ...

Opioids in breast cancer: Between analgesia and modulation of tumour progression
Preclinical investigations consistently demonstrate that activation of μ‐opioid receptors and δ‐opioid receptors promote proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, acquisition of cancer stem cell phenotypes, and chemoresistance.
