Coupling of Cell Shape, Matrix and Tissue Dynamics Ensures Embryonic Patterning Robustness

Research Background During the early stages of mammalian embryonic development, embryonic cells gradually differentiate into various cell types through complex regulatory mechanisms, forming tissues with specific functions. This process is known as tissue patterning, which involves the determination of cell fate, coordination of cellular dynamics, ...

Empowering High Throughput Screening of 3D Models: Automated Dispensing of Cervical and Endometrial Cancer Cells

Cervical cancer and endometrial cancer are significant challenges in women’s healthcare, with high mortality rates and limited treatment options making related research particularly important. Traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell screening models can provide information on the effects of drugs on single cells but fail to capture multicellular inte...

Hypoxic Preconditioned ADSC Exosomes Enhance Vaginal Wound Healing via Accelerated Keratinocyte Proliferation and Migration through Akt/HIF-1α Axis Activation

Vaginal wound healing is a critical issue in gynecological surgery, especially following vaginal delivery or pelvic reconstructive surgery. Infection and poor healing of vaginal wounds can lead to severe complications such as chronic pain, infection, and dysfunction. Therefore, accelerating vaginal wound healing has been a focal point of clinical r...

Computational Insights into CRISP3 Downregulation in Cervical Cancer and Its Cervical Lineages Pattern

Cervical Cancer (CC) is the fourth most common malignant tumor among women worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where its incidence and mortality rates remain high. According to statistics, there were over 600,000 new cases and more than 340,000 deaths globally in 2020. The primary cause of cervical cancer is the persistent ...

Patient-Reported Outcomes 3 and 18 Months After Mastectomy and Immediate Prepectoral Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction in the UK PRE-BRA Prospective Multicentre Cohort Study

Mastectomy is a common surgical procedure in the treatment of breast cancer, with approximately 55,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK, of whom up to 40% undergo mastectomy. Mastectomy has a profound impact on women’s physical and mental health, and the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends th...

Compatibility of Procreation, Pregnancy, and Early Parenthood in Female and Male Surgeons During Surgical Training in Switzerland: National Survey Study

Academic Background The lengthy training periods and high-stress work schedules of surgeons, particularly during their optimal childbearing years, often lead them to forgo part-time work or delay pregnancy, thereby increasing the risk of infertility and pregnancy complications. Women experience a significant decline in fertility after the age of 30...

Modulation of Cardiac Automaticity by IKACH in the Sinoatrial Node During Pregnancy

Academic Background Pregnant women undergo significant physiological changes in their cardiovascular system to meet the increased physiological demands during pregnancy. Among these changes, an increase in resting heart rate (HR) is common, typically rising by 10-20 beats per minute. However, this increase in HR can lead to the onset or exacerbatio...

Maternal Folic Acid Over-Supplementation Impairs Cardiac Function in Mice Offspring by Inhibiting SOD1 Expression

Background Folic Acid (FA) supplementation during pregnancy is widely recommended to reduce the risk of fetal congenital defects, particularly in the prevention of neural tube defects and congenital heart disease. However, despite the significant benefits of FA supplementation in preventing certain diseases, whether excessive FA supplementation may...

Multi-omics-based Mapping of Decidualization Resistance in Patients with a History of Severe Preeclampsia

Multi-omics technology reveals the mechanism of endometrial decidualization resistance in patients with severe preeclampsia Academic background Preeclampsia (PE) is a common and serious complication during pregnancy, primarily characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, and dysfunction of other organs, posing a significant threat to maternal and fe...

Reduced-Energy Diet in Women with Gestational Diabetes: The Dietary Intervention in Gestational Diabetes DIGEST Randomized Clinical Trial

Research Report on Low-Energy Diet Intervention in Gestational Diabetes Academic Background Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a form of diabetes diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy, with a global incidence rate of approximately 6-15%. GDM not only increases the risk of short-term complications for both mothers and fetuses, such as la...
