Identification novel mutations and phenotypic spectrum expanding in PATL2 in infertile women with IVF/ICSI failure
ConclusionsThese results expand the spectrum ofPATL2 variants and provide an important reference for genetic counseling for female infertility, and they increase our understanding of the mechanisms of oocyte maturation arrest caused by PATL2 deficiency.

Exosomal encapsulation of miR-3198 promotes proliferation and migration of trophoblasts in preeclampsia
ConclusionExosomal miR-3198 in the maternal peripheral blood may regulate the biological functions of trophoblasts by targeting WNT3 and influence the development of diseases of placental origin.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Pathologic maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with programmed embryo transfer: potential etiologies and strategies for prevention
ConclusionsEndometrial preparation that is not optimal, absent circulating corpus luteal factors, or a combination thereof are attractive etiologies; however, the requisite investigations to prove them have yet to be undertaken. Presuming that in ongoing RCTs, some or all adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with programmed autologous FET are circumvented or mitigated by employing natural or stimulated cycles instead, then for women who can conceive using these regimens, they would be preferable. For the 15% or so of women who require programmed FET, additional research as suggested in this review is needed to elucidate t...

Pathologic maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with programmed embryo transfer
ConclusionsProgrammed autologous FET is associated with an increased risk of several, seemingly diverse, pathologic pregnancy outcomes including HDP, preeclampsia, fetal overgrowth, postterm birth, and placenta accreta. Though the greater risk for preeclampsia specifically associated with programmed autologous FET appears to be well established, further research is needed to substantiate the limited data currently available suggesting that the classification of preeclampsia involved is predominately late-onset or term. If substantiated, then this knowledge could provide insight into placental pathogenesis, which has been p...

Expression of long non-coding RNA GAS5 by first trimester screening predicts the occurrence of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia
ConclusionElevated serum GAS5 could serve as an effective diagnostic biomarker in discriminating GH patients from healthy people by first trimester screening. Detection of serum GAS5 level has a certain predictive value for PE. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Mechanisms of YAP1-mediated trophoblast ferroptosis in recurrent pregnancy loss
ConclusionDownregulation of YAP1 induces ferroptosis, thereby damaging the trophoblast invasion processes, which also disturbs the communication at the maternal-fetal interface. Our study identified YAP1 as a potential key molecule in the pathogenesis of RPL. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Obstetric and maternal outcomes of IVF and oocyte donation pregnancies among women ages 40 –45—a large cohort study
ConclusionsWomen ages 40 –45 undergoing IVF or OD have a greater risk of PTL, possibly due to higher rates of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Parenthood desire, perceived parenthood stigma, and barriers to achieving parenthood in childless sexual minority men
ConclusionsWith an increasing number of SMM desiring children, it is pivotal to advance family-building equality through improving their fertility and assisted reproductive knowledge, removing disparities in accessing adoption and assisted reproductive services, and decreasing social stigma against SMM having children.

Does extreme psychological burden (Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th, 2023) affect in vitro fertilization outcome?
ConclusionsIn the present study, we are witness to the effect of acute emotional and psychological trauma on IVF outcome, as reflected by its detrimental effect on sperm and embryo quality. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

MiR-135a-5p regulates window of implantation by suppressing pinopodes development and decidualization of endometrial stromal cells
ConclusionMiR-135a-5p expression is significantly downregulated during the WOI. High miR-135a-5p levels suppress pinopode development and endometrial tissue decidualization through HOXA10 and BMPR2, contributing to inadequate endometrial receptivity.
