Impact of sitagliptin on endometrial mesenchymal stem-like progenitor cells: A randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled feasibility trial [PDF]

EBioMedicine, 2020
Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is associated with the loss of endometrial mesenchymal stem-like progenitor cells (eMSC). DPP4 inhibitors may increase homing and engraftment of bone marrow-derived cells to sites of tissue injury.

Microbiota composition of the female reproductive tract and miscarriage: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Miscarriage, the loss of a pregnancy before viability, can be sporadic or recurrent. Emerging evidence links miscarriage to specific microbiota compositions within the female reproductive tract (FRT). This systematic review aims to synthesise evidence on

Miscarriage syndrome: Linking early pregnancy loss to obstetric and age-related disorders

EBioMedicine, 2022
Summary: Upon embryo implantation, the uterine mucosa - the endometrium - transforms into a robust decidual matrix that accommodates the fetal placenta throughout pregnancy. This transition is driven by the differentiation of endometrial fibroblasts into

Chromosomal polymorphisms in assisted reproduction: an analysis of 942 cycles

Vascular Biology, 2022
The use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has recently increased worldwide. The live birth rate per ICSI cycle is low, and over half of infertile couples remain childless.

A comprehensive analysis of chromosomal polymorphic variants on reproductive outcomes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment

Scientific Reports, 2023
Recent studies suggest that chromosomal polymorphic variations are associated with infertility. A systematic review of chromosomal polymorphisms in assisted reproduction found an association with higher rates of miscarriage.

The Role of Decidual Subpopulations in Implantation, Menstruation and Miscarriage

Frontiers in Reproductive Health, 2021
In each menstrual cycle, the endometrium becomes receptive to embryo implantation while preparing for tissue breakdown and repair. Both pregnancy and menstruation are dependent on spontaneous decidualization of endometrial stromal cells, a progesterone ...

Evaluating cut‐off levels for progesterone, β human chorionic gonadotropin and β human chorionic gonadotropin ratio to exclude pregnancy viability in women with a pregnancy of unknown location: A prospective multicenter cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2022
Introduction There is no global agreement on how to best determine pregnancy of unknown location viability and location using biomarkers. Measurements of progesterone and β human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG) are still used in clinical practice to ...
