Wei Yan, MD, Ph.D., and his research group have solved a longstanding mystery and scientific debate about the mechanism underlying the gamete and embryo transport within the fallopian tube. Using a ...

Yan research group has solved a longstanding scientific debate about the mechanism underlying the gamete and embryo transport within the Fallopian tube. Using a mouse model where the animals lacked ...

Researchers in Japan have revealed the mechanism that determines the direction of the transportation of eggs in the fallopian tube. Fallopian tubes, or oviducts, connect the ovaries and uterus. They ...

A new study creates a detailed 'atlas' of the various cell types and their gene activities within the highly specialized fallopian tube, paving the way for new research into infertility and other ...

PAX2 belongs to the paired homeobox domain family and has an important role during embryonic development. 17 PAX2 is critical for the development of the urogenital tract, thyroid, kidney, inner ear, ...

The fallopian tubes—long, slender structures connecting the ovaries and the uterus—play an important role in women’s reproductive health. Their fringed ends collect the egg from the ovary, coaxing it ...

The fallopian tube is the site of fertilization, where once a month for the duration of a female's post-pubescent, pre-menopausal life, an egg is moved from the ovary, ready for fertilization by a ...

Fallopian tube cancer starts in the fallopian tubes, which connect a woman's ovaries to their uterus. Each month, an ovary releases one egg into the fallopian tube. The egg either gets fertilized by ...

In recent years it has become clear that many extra-uterine (pelvic) high-grade serous carcinomas (serous carcinomas) are preceded by a precursor lesion in the distal fallopian tube. Precursors range ...

Most cases of high-grade serous cancer (HSGC) ― the most lethal form of ovarian cancer ― arise from the fallopian tubes rather than the ovaries, concludes a literature review published in the April ...
