Perfluorooctanoic Acid Exposure Causes Macrophage Ammonia Retention and Induces Spontaneous Miscarriages

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
PFOA exposure induces pregnancy loss by promoting glutaminolysis, which further causes ammonia accumulation in macrophages. Cellular ammonia retention results in damage to mitochondria and lysosomes, which leads to cell death eventually. Impaired lysosomes also decrease the secretion of the Cathepsin B (CTSB), and attenuate macrophage infiltration and ...

Endometrial Assembloid Model Reveals Endometrial Gland Development Regulation by Estradiol‐Driven WNT7B Suppression

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
This study developed a 3D endometrial assembloid model to study how uterine glands form and develop. They discovered key interactions between different cell types and identified WNT7B as a regulator controlled by estradiol‐mediated TGFβ1‐VDR interaction.

Pattern and Clinical Significance of CA19‐9 Expression in Human Cancer: A Tissue Microarray Study on 14,966 Tumors

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Carbohydrate antigen 19–9 (CA19‐9) is a cell surface glycoprotein widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic serum marker for monitoring pancreatic cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical relevance of CA19‐9 expression in human cancer. Methods To comprehensively determine the prevalence and clinical

Ectocervical Hypergranulation Secondary to Transcervical Coil Thread Perforation—An Unusual Cause for Persistent Postcoital Bleeding

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cervical perforation by coil threads is an uncommon complication. Predisposing factors may include prior cervical interventions, hypoestrogenic atrophy, thread material, and duration of use. Awareness is essential when evaluating abnormal bleeding or atypical thread presentation despite radiologically correct placement.
