DOI: 10.1007/s00404-019-05130-y
Abstract: PurposeSuccessful embryo implantation into the endometrium depends on embryonic characteristics and proper endometrial development. Reproductive medicine often focuses on embryo quality, whereas reliable diagnostic tests for endometrial receptivity are still needed. We previously found that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00404-019-05346-y
Abstract: Implantation rates differ according to ovulation induction agents in ART. This study investigates the different local endometrial effects of LH- versus hCG-induced ovulation. Endometrial stromal cells from healthy patients were cultured with hCG or LH… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40618-017-0653-7
Abstract: PurposeLiquid-chromatography tandem mass-spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed in parallel to Immunoassays (IAs) and today is proposed as the “gold standard” for steroid assays. Leydig cells of men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) are able to respond to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s43032-021-00564-9
Abstract: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) for final oocyte maturation, along with vitrification of all usable embryos followed by transfer in a subsequent frozen-thawed cycle, is the most effective strategy to avoid ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). However,… read more here.
