The changing tide of human fertility
R John Aitken
doi : 10.1093/humrep/deac011
Human Reproduction, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 629–638
Over the past half-century, the world has witnessed a steep decline in fertility rates in virtually every country on Earth.
Are serum progesterone measurements truly representative for the identification of an adequate luteal phase in hormonal replacement therapy frozen embryo transfers?
B Lawrenz, H M Fatemi
doi : 10.1093/humrep/deac017
Human Reproduction, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 639–643
Progesterone (P4) is crucial for the achievement and maintenance of a pregnancy and with rising numbers of frozen embryo transfers (FETs) performed worldwide, the search for the ‘optimal’ P4 levels in HRT FET cycles became a focus of research. Certainly, measurement of systemic P4 levels is an easy applicable tool and P4 levels, considered as being too low, could be addressed by changing and/or increasing exogenously administered P4.
Use of ‘omics for endometrial timing: the cycle moves on
John D Aplin, Adam Stevens
doi : 10.1093/humrep/deac022
Human Reproduction, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 644–650
For some years, the prospect of precise and personalized timing of the endometrial cycle for optimal embryo replacement has been held out as a potential solution to low implantation rates. It is envisaged that a receptive state can be defined and reached at a predictable time, and embryo replacement performed in synchrony.
Sperm acquire epididymis-derived proteins through epididymosomes
F Barrachina, M A Battistone, J Castillo, C Mallofré, M Jodar, S Breton, R Oliva
doi : 10.1093/humrep/deac015
Human Reproduction, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 651–668
Testicular sperm are immature cells unable to fertilize an oocyte. After leaving the testis, sperm transit along the epididymis to acquire motility and fertilizing abilities. It is well known that marked changes in the sperm proteome profile occur during epididymal maturation
Mitochondrial DNA content reduction in the most fertile spermatozoa is accompanied by increased mitochondrial DNA rearrangement
M Boguenet, V Desquiret-Dumas, D Goudenège, C Bris, L Boucret, O Blanchet, V Procaccio, P E Bouet, P Reynier, P May-Panloup
doi : 10.1093/humrep/deac024
Human Reproduction, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 669–679
While there is a consensus that mtDNA content is decreased in the most fertile spermatozoa, the role of mtDNA sequence alteration in male infertility is unclear. High-throughput sequencing, which allows an exhaustive analysis of mtDNA rearrangements and mutations, could be helpful in this context, but has yet to be used.
Autophagy is activated in human spermatozoa subjected to oxidative stress and its inhibition impairs sperm quality and promotes cell death
Pamela Uribe, Juan Meriño, Carola E Matus, Mabel Schulz, Fabiola Zambrano, Juana V Villegas, Iván Conejeros, Anja Taubert, Carlos Hermosilla, Raúl Sánchez
doi : 10.1093/humrep/deac021
Human Reproduction, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 680–695
Autophagy is a regulated pathway of lysosomal degradation which helps eukaryotic cells to maintain or restore homeostasis, being a cellular stress response mechanism.

Human Reproduction, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 708–717
Evidence from time-lapse monitoring suggests correlations between timing of key developmental events and embryo viability. No good quality evidence exists to support improved pregnancy rates following time-lapse selection.

Carolina von Grothusen, Caroline Frisendahl, Vijayachitra Modhukur, Parameswaran Grace Lalitkumar, Maire Peters, Omid R Faridani, Andres Salumets, Nageswara Rao Boggavarapu, Kristina Gemzell-Danielsson
doi : 10.1093/humrep/deac019
Human Reproduction, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 734–746
It has previously been demonstrated that the miRNAs secreted from endometrial cells into the UF contribute to the achievement of endometrial receptivity. Endometrial miRNAs are dysregulated in women with RIF.

Julia Lipecki, Andrew E Mitchell, Joanne Muter, Emma S Lucas, Komal Makwana, Katherine Fishwick, Joshua Odendaal, Amelia Hawkes, Pavle Vrljicak, Jan J Brosens, Sascha Ott
doi : 10.1093/humrep/deac006
Human Reproduction, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 747–761

Breaking the ageing paradigm in endometrium: endometrial gene expression related to cilia and ageing hallmarks in women over 35 years
A Devesa-Peiro, P Sebastian-Leon, A Parraga-Leo, A Pellicer, P Diaz-Gimeno
doi : 10.1093/humrep/deac010
Human Reproduction, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2022, Pages 762–776
Female fertility declines with age, largely attributed to declining oocyte quality and ovarian reserve. Combined with other evidence, a longstanding paradigm holds that age does not affect the endometrial function and age has not been controlled for properly in endometrial studies.
Trophectoderm differentiation to invasive syncytiotrophoblast is promoted by endometrial epithelial cells during human embryo implantation
Peter T Ruane, Terence Garner, Lydia Parsons, Phoebe A Babbington, Ivan Wangsaputra, Susan J Kimber, Adam Stevens, Melissa Westwood, Daniel R Brison, John D Aplin

Since March 2020, in order to minimize spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and reducing strain on the health care systems, many national authorities have imposed containments and restricted both indoor and outdoor recreational activities. Historical events, such as electricity blackouts, have repeatedly been shown to exert incremental effects on birth numbers.

Association of peripubertal blood lead levels with reproductive hormones and semen parameters in a longitudinal cohort of Russian men

Lead is a known reproductive toxicant and endocrine disruptor. Previous literature has shown associations between high lead exposure and poorer semen quality both in occupationally and environmentally exposed men. However, to our knowledge, no longitudinal studies have explored the association of childhood lead exposure with semen parameters and reproductive hormones in young men.
