Article Abstract

Among the wide range of procedures performed by clinical embryologists, the cryopreservation of reproductive cells and tissues represents a fundamental task in the daily routine. Indeed, cryopreservation procedures can be considered a subspecialty of medically assisted reproductive technology (ART), having the same relevance as sperm injection or embryo biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing. However, although a great deal of care has been devoted to optimizing cryopreservation protocols, the same energy has only recently been spent on developing and implementing strategies for the safe and reliable storage and transport of reproductive specimens. Herein, we have summarized the content of the available guidelines, the risks, the needs and the future perspectives regarding the management of cryopreservation biorepositories used in ART.

Myoepithelial carcinoma (MECA) is a malignant neoplasm composed exclusively of myoepithelial cells and accounts for less than 1% of all salivary gland tumors. Its diagnosis is often challenging due to histologic overlaps with benign lesions and its variable morphologic presentation. Although molecular profiling has emerged as a valuable tool in salivary gland tumor classification, the genetic landscape of MECA remains incompletely defined.

Background: Obesity, a prevalent global health issue, is associated with testosterone deficiency (TD). A body shape index (ABSI) provides a more precise assessment of obesity and visceral fat, but its relationship with testosterone remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the association between ABSI and testosterone levels leading to TD.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has caused tremendous economic losses in the swine industry since emerging in the late 1980s. Although vaccination has been widely used to control PRRS epidemics in Chinese pig farms, they provided limited protection against PRRSV transmission; moreover, no effective therapeutic drugs are available. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel antiviral strategies to control PRRSV epidemics.

Snai2 is a transcription factor that inhibits the proliferation of cervical cancer cells and tumor growth. The expression of Snai2 inhibited the expression of β-catenin and impaired Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activity. The results of the RNA sequence in Snai2-overexpressing cervical cancer cells implied a strong correlation between Snai2 and TRIM31 with ubiquitin ligase activity.

Study Question: What is the effect of hCG on the epigenetic profile and the expression of other molecular factors in endometrial stromal cells (ESCs)?

Summary Answer: Our findings suggest that hCG treatment alters the molecular environment of decidualized ESCs, potentially influencing implantation and immune regulation through epigenetic modifications and changes in the levels of secreted proteins and micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs).

What Is Known Already: Embryo implantation depends not only on the quality of the embryo but also on the receptivity of the endometrium, the specialized lining of the uterus that undergoes dynamic changes to support pregnancy. Effective communication between the maternal and fetal compartments, facilitated by molecular signals and cellular interactions, is essential for successful implantation.
