Bone morphogenetic protein 6 induces downregulation of pentraxin 3 expression in human granulosa lutein cells in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
ConclusionsThe suppressive effect of BMP6 on PTX3 was mediated by ALK2/ALK3 type  I receptors and BMPR2/ACVR2A type II receptors in granulosa cells through the SMAD1/5-SMAD4 dependent signaling pathway in PCOS.Our findings provides new insights into the understanding of the pathogenesis of PCOS-related ovulatory disorders.

Relationship between degree of methylation of sperm long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1) gene and alteration of sperm parameters and age: a meta-regression analysis
ConclusionsThe results of this systematic review and meta-analysis do not suggest a determining role of spermLINE1 gene methylation degree in patients with infertility and/or abnormal sperm parameters. Therefore, we do not suggest includingLINE1 in the genetic panel of prospective studies aimed at identifying the most representative and cost-effective genes to be analyzed in couples undergoing ART cycles.

MiR-150-5p contributes to unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion by targeting VEGFA and downregulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
ConclusionsOverall, these findings imply that miR-150-5p is among the key factors that regulate the pathogenesis of URSA. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Predicting the ovarian response: towards a determinant model and implications for practice
Conclusion(s)A substantial improvement of the ovarian response prediction is possible in modelling the possible cancellation decision, followed by the oocyte retrieval itself, according to an appropriate model based on previous stimulation and non-linear effects of AMH and AFC.

NOBOX gene variants in premature ovarian insufficiency: ethnicity-dependent insights
ConclusionThis population study suggests that the p.(Arg44Leu) variant could be considered benign variant and that the p.(Asp452Asn) and p.(Arg117Trp) variants could be considered moderate risk pathogenic variants with probably partial and very low penetrance and/or expressivity. In contrast, p.(Gly91Trp) and p.(Gly152Arg) variants could be considered pathogenic variants with a moderate functional impact. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Correlation among irrational parenthood cognitions, fertility stress, and social support in patients with repeated implantation failure and the mediating effect of fertility stress: a cross-sectional survey
ConclusionsThe mediating effect of reproductive stress on the relationship between irrational parenthood cognitions and social support in patients with repeated implantation failure was significant. It is important for medical and nursing staff to address physical and psychological illnesses and develop effective intervention strategies from the perspectives of fertility stress, social support, and cultural background, with the ultimate goal of improving mental health.
