Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging hybrid biomedical imaging modality that combines the high molecular contrast of optical excitation with the deep tissue penetration of ultrasound detection. This review presents recent advances in …

Oxidative stress-induced endometrial injury has been shown to contribute to infertility; however, effective strategies that can simultaneously scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and restore mitochondrial and antioxidant homeostasis rema…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometriosis is a common manifestation of endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Although transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging are central to diagnosis, challenging cases ma…

Active targeting nanoparticles are a new generation of drug and gene delivery systems with the potential for greatly improved therapeutics delivery compared to conventional nanomedicine approaches. Despite their potential, the translation o…

Material Jetting (MJT) 3D printing (3DP) is a specific technology that deposits photocurable droplets of material and colored inks to fabricate objects layer-by-layer. The high resolution and full color capability render MJT 3DP an ideal te…

This study primarily aimed at developing a novel multi-dimensional methodology to discover and validate the optimal number of clusters. The secondary objective was to deploy it for the task of clustering fibromyalgia patients. We present a …

The fallopian tubes are essential for human fertility, facilitating the movement of sperm and oocytes to the fertilization site and transporting fertilized oocytes to the uterus. Infertility can result from changes in the fallopian tubes du…

IntroductionGenitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) are the most frequent menopause-related clinical entities and are consistently included in the definition of pelvic floor disorders (PFDs). Nonhormonal the…

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medical procedure useful for several benign conditions (such as wound healing and infections) and cancer. PDT is minimally invasive, presents few side effects, good scaring, and is able to minimal tissue dest…

The purpose of this study was to perform a comparative biochemical analysis between conventional spectrophotometry and Raman spectroscopy, techniques used for diagnoses, on the urine of healthy (CT) and diabetic and hypertensive patients (D…

Suicidegene therapy is considered a promising approach for the treatment of uterine leiomyoma (UL), a benign tumor in women characterized by precise localization. In this study, we investigate the efficiency of αvβ3 integrin-targeted argini…

The COVID-19 pandemic seems endless with the regular emergence of new variants. Is the SARS-CoV-2 virus particularly evasive to the immune system, or is it merely disrupting communication between the body and the brain, thus pre-empting hom…

Microfluidic-based technology attracts great interest in cell biology and medicine, in virtue of the ability to better mimic the in vivo cell microenvironment compared to conventional macroscale cell culture platforms. Recent Organs-on-chip…

Solanum nigrum L. is one of the major medicinal plants used to treat cancer. However, the functional mechanism of S. nigrum L. extract is still unknown in spite of numerous studies on its active components. In this study, we probed the pote…

The endometrium is an accessible source of mesenchymal stem cells. Most investigations of endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSCs) have been conducted in humans. In animals, particularly in livestock, eMSC research is scarce. Such cells h…
