    Iron-overloaded follicular fluid increases the risk of endometriosis-related infertility by triggering granulosa cell ferroptosis and oocyte dysmaturity

    Endometriosis (EMs) occurs in approximately 50% of women with infertility. The main causes of EMs-related infertility are follicle dysplasia and reduced oocyte quality. Iron overload occurs in ovarian follicul...

    Modulation of septin higher-order structure by the Cdc28 protein kinase

    Septins are a family of eukaryotic guanosine phosphate-binding proteins that form linear heterooligomeric complexes, which, in turn, polymerize end-on-end into filaments. These filaments further assemble into ...
