Maternal Dietary Inflammatory Index and Biomarkers of Inflammation at Birth

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We evaluated the association between the inflammatory potential of the maternal diet during pregnancy and levels of inflammatory biomarkers measured in cord blood and maternal serum at birth. Dietary inflammatory potential was calculated using the energy‐adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E‐DII) in the French EDEN and ELFE birth cohorts ...

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Phthalate Metabolite, Mono(2‐Ethyl‐5‐Hydroxyhexyl) Phthalate (MEHHP), Promotes Uterine‐Fibroid–Associated Phenotypes in Myometrial Stem Cell‐Derived 3D Organoids

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 975-997, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono‐(2‐ethyl‐5‐hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells (MMSCs).

Cancer cell‐intrinsic type 1 interferon: production, signaling, and outcomes within sex‐biased, female malignancies

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 9, Page 2135-2162, September 2026.
The cell‐autonomous roles of interferon type 1 vary based on duration and intensity. While acute, robust signaling results in cancer cell cytotoxic effects, sustained, low‐level signaling is associated with tumor‐promoting effects. This review summarizes current research of IFN‐1 in cancer and within the clinical setting, with an emphasis on female ...

Fisetin Attenuates Uterine Leiomyoma in Rats: Potential Crosstalk Between HMGB1, SphK1/S1P, and TGF‐β Signaling

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 9, September 2026.
Fisetin attenuates monosodium glutamate‐induced uterine leiomyoma by reducing sex hormones and suppressing S1P/SphK1 signaling, HMGB1‐mediated inflammation, and fibrotic markers. These coordinated effects alleviate fibrosis and restore uterine tissue architecture, highlighting fisetin as a promising natural therapeutic candidate.

Uterine Dysfunctions in Non‐Pregnant and Pregnant Small Animals

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S2, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Various uterine dysfunctions in non‐pregnant and pregnant dogs and cats exist and can have a significant impact on the animal's health and welfare, as well as the offspring in case of pregnant and postpartum animals. This article aims to provide an overview, focusing on pyometra, endometritis, and uterine inertia, mainly in dogs.
