The establishment of a successful pregnancy depends on proper embryo development and coordinated endometrial differentiation, particularly through the process of decidualization. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), especially those deriv…
STUDY QUESTION: Does polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) represent a human model for reproductive longevity? SUMMARY ANSWER: Asian women with PCOS have enhanced ovarian reserve and ART outcomes, even at an advanced maternal age. WHAT IS KNOW…
Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a widely used non-destructive technique for biosensing applications because of its ability to detect unique 'fingerprint' spectra of biomolecules from the vibrational bands. To detect these weak fingerprint spectr…
PURPOSE: To evaluate haptoglobin (Hp) in ovarian cyst fluid as a diagnostic biomarker for epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based in vitro diagnostic assay for use in an intraoperative settin…
