Study Title

PCOS MUSE Research Study

Study Description

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are conducting a study to better understand how Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects the uterine lining and early pregnancy health. Women with PCOS are invited to participate in a research study that examines immune and biological factors in the uterus. By analyzing endometrial tissue and blood samples, researchers aim to better understand how PCOS may influence the uterine environment, fertility, and overall reproductive health. Findings from this study may help improve future treatments and care for individuals living with PCOS.

Goals of the Study

Researchers will analyze immune cells and other biological markers in endometrial tissue to better understand:

How PCOS may impact the uterine environment
Biological factors that influence embryo implantation
Potential pathways that could improve fertility outcomes for women with PCOS
