Reproductive genetics and health

Medizinische Genetik
Abstract For those affected, infertility is linked to impaired overall health and reduced life expectancy. In particular, infertile individuals bear an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and different types of cancer, partially due to lifestyle differences and to genetic alterations that cause both infertility and an ...

Effect of DFPP on Ferroptosis in Peripheral Blood CD14+ Monocytes of Hyperlipidemic Patients Involving the ACSL4/LPCAT3/ALOX5 Pathway

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Although statins are the cornerstone of lipid‐lowering therapy, their use may be limited in some patients by adverse effects. This study evaluated the possible impact of non‐drug treatment using double‐filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) on CD14+

Population-level analyses identify host and environmental variables influencing the vaginal microbiome

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
The vaginal microbiome is critical for the reproductive health of women, yet the differential impacts exerted by the host and by ambient environmental variables on the vaginal microbiome remain largely unknown.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Proteomic and metabolomic reveals abnormalities in metabolic processes, epigenetic modifications, oxidative stress, embryonic aneuploidy and implantation in mouse blastocysts derived from in vitro fertilization

Journal of Ovarian Research
Background Assisted reproductive technology (ART), especially in vitro fertilization (IVF), has become an important means of addressing infertility issues.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Biallelic BRCA2 variants induce premature ovarian insufficiency by impaired meiotic homologous recombination

Communications Biology
The DNA damage response plays a pivotal role in ovarian aging. Breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCA2), which participates in homologous recombination (HR), is a key regulator of natural menopause. Rare BRCA2 variants have been identified in patients

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Unveiling lipoprotein subfractions signature in high-FNPO PCOS: implications for PCOM diagnosis and risk assessment using advanced machine learning models

BMC Medicine
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive and metabolic disorder in the reproductive-age women. The international evidence-based guideline for the assessment and management of PCOS 2023 now suggests raising the follicle number ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.
