Pathogenesis of Adenomyosis: An Integrated Review of Cellular Origins, Molecular Mechanisms, and Intersecting Diseases

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Adenomyosis is a prevalent disorder of the archimetra, historically conflated with endometriosis but possessing a unique pathobiological trajectory. This review synthesises current molecular evidence to propose a unified mechanistic framework initiated by tissue injury and repair (TIAR), aberrant stem cell activation, or de novo metaplasia ...

In the gravid human uterus, oxytocin induces smooth muscle cell contraction via transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 channel activation

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 7, Page 3135-3158, 1 April 2026.
Abstract figure legend In gravid human uterus smooth muscle, the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) calcium channel colocalize at <40 nm by proximity ligation. TRPV4 is necessary for oxytocin‐induced calcium influx and contractility in uterine smooth muscle cells.

Comparison of terbutaline and atosiban as tocolytic agents in intrauterine repair of myelomeningocele: a retrospective cohort study

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology
Background: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a neural tube defect disease. Antenatal repair of fetal MMC is an alternative to postnatal repair. Many agents can be used as tocolytics during the in utero fetal repair such as β2-agonists and oxytocin receptor ...

Efferent pathways in sodium overload-induced renal vasodilation in rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Hypernatremia stimulates the secretion of oxytocin (OT), but the physiological role of OT remains unclear. The present study sought to determine the involvement of OT and renal nerves in the renal responses to an intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline.

Tocolytic agents and the failure to improve neonatal outcomes

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Premature delivery has long been a major problem in obstetrics. Increased perinatal morbidity and mortality as well as substantial health care costs, both short and long term, have driven the efforts to combat this complication. While multiple agents have been studied over the last 70 years leading to hundreds of publications and involving ...
