Researchers found that stem cells in the bone marrow of female mice can produce new egg cells, contradicting long-standing theories on mammalian reproductive physiology. This discovery could lead to new treatments based on regenerative medicine.
A new study suggests that stem cells in bone marrow and blood can regenerate egg cells in adult mice, potentially leading to new fertility treatments and alternatives to hormone replacement therapy. The findings also provide evidence for the existence of germ cell progenitors outside of the ovary.
Researchers identified a unique genetic pattern in 8 women over 45 who conceived spontaneously, involved in apoptosis and DNA repair mechanisms. This genetic predisposition may help protect against age-related ovary damage, allowing some women to remain fertile until menopause.
A study published by Mayo Clinic researchers found that removing the ovaries elevates the risk of Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism in women. The study, which analyzed data from over 2,500 women, suggested that a reduction in estrogen levels after ovary removal may contribute to this increased risk.
Researchers developed a PCOS-specific questionnaire to measure disease-related dysfunction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Questionnaire (PCOSQ) improves quality of life perception with therapy, particularly for hirsutism and excess weight.
In a breakthrough procedure, doctors have successfully transplanted a healthy ovary from a patient's body into her upper arm, preserving her fertility. The innovative technique uses brachial vessels to establish blood supply and has shown promising results in maintaining cyclical follicular growth.
Researchers have successfully removed and preserved a woman's ovary, allowing for the potential restoration of her fertility after cancer treatment. The procedure shows promise in combating infertility caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, offering hope to women seeking to become pregnant again.
Researchers have discovered a promising treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using rosiglitazone, an insulin sensitizer that reduces excess androgen levels and improves menstrual cycles. The study showed significant benefits in insulin resistance and ovarian function, offering new hope for women with PCOS.
Researchers at University of Pittsburgh successfully used suspension culture systems to promote follicular growth in rats and mice, showing promise for preserving ovarian fertility after cancer treatment. The study's findings suggest a promising step towards conserving fertility for cancer patients.
Researchers discovered structural changes in ovary lining cells and higher levels of Bcl-2 protein in women with ovarian cancer. These findings suggest potential early detection methods for the disease.
Researchers found a high rate of follicle degeneration in mice without a corresponding reduction in healthy follicles, refuting the idea of a fixed egg supply. The study suggests that ovaries retain the ability to produce new oocytes and follicles, potentially leading to new approaches to combating infertility.
Researchers found that adult ovaries produce new oocyte-containing follicles, defying the traditional understanding of ovarian function. Ovarian follicle numbers even increased with age in some strains of mice.
Women with premature ovarian failure experience higher rates of dry eye due to ocular surface damage, not reduced tear production. Sex hormones play a multifaceted role in maintaining healthy moisture on the eye's surface.
Spanish fertility experts have found a protein called Vascular Endothelial cadherin linked to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The study suggests that modulating the way ovaries are stimulated can reduce the risk of severe OHSS. Researchers propose a novel approach, 'coasting', which enables treatment cycles to continue with less risk.
A study of children born after in vitro maturation indicates the technique is safe. The children, aged two to four years old, achieved higher than average scores in developmental tests. They were found to be healthy with no notable exceptions, supporting the safety and effectiveness of IVM for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
The Northwestern SCOR will focus on the role of genes, androgens and intrauterine environment in PCOS. The research aims to elucidate the pathogenesis of PCOS and provide a potential molecular diagnosis for the syndrome.
Researchers found that women who survived childhood leukemia had smaller ovaries with fewer follicles, but their ovaries appeared to function normally. The study suggests that female childhood cancer survivors with an apparently normal menstrual cycle might have a shortened reproductive span.
Scientists have found that teenage girls with Turner's syndrome still possess follicles in their ovaries, which may enable them to produce eggs. This breakthrough discovery provides a glimmer of hope for these women who are usually infertile due to the syndrome. Further research is needed to confirm the findings and explore the possibi...
Researchers have successfully used frozen ovarian tissue to induce live births in large mammals, including lambs. The study offers a promising solution for women who become infertile due to cancer treatments, providing an alternative to traditional fertility preservation methods.
A study found that a testosterone skin patch can relieve impaired sexual functioning in surgically menopausal women. The patch restored normal testosterone levels, leading to improved sexual activity and pleasure, as well as overall psychological well-being. Adverse side effects were minimal.
A recent study by Dutch fertility experts suggests that women undergoing IVF treatment who have a low number of eggs retrieved are more likely to enter an early menopausal state. The research indicates a correlation between the age of menopause and the number of eggs produced, supporting one of the concepts of reproductive ageing. Howe...
A new study on rhesus monkeys found that those without functioning ovaries performed better on spatial memory tasks than monkeys with intact ovaries. This suggests that the lack of estrogen may protect against age-related decline in certain aspects of spatial memory.
A Yale study reveals that postmenopausal women's ovaries are often removed during hysterectomy due to geographical location and surgeon experience, sparking concerns about informed consent. The research highlights significant variation in oophorectomy rates across different areas of the state and among surgeons with varying caseloads.
