Electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL)-amnion nanofibrous membrane prevents adhesions and promotes nerve repair in a rat model of sciatic nerve compression.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Adhesion and scarring after neural surgery are detrimental to nerve regeneration and functional recovery. Amniotic membranes have been used in tissue repair due to their immunogenicity and richness in cytokines.

A Solution for Exosome‐Based Analysis: Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy and Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Exosomes are emerging as powerful biomarkers for disease diagnosis and monitoring. This review highlights the integration of surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy with artificial intelligence to enhance molecular fingerprinting of exosomes. Machine learning and deep learning techniques improve spectral interpretation, enabling accurate classification of ...

Halofuginone- and Chitosan-Coated Amnion Membranes Demonstrate Improved Abdominal Adhesion Prevention

The Scientific World Journal, 2010
Our objective was to determine whether coating the amniotic membrane with halofuginone, a type 1 collagen synthase inhibitor, with or without the hemostasis-inducing substance chitosan, reduced the number and severity of adhesions in the rat uterine horn

Isolation, characterization, and substrate properties of the external limiting membrane from the avian embryonic optic tectum [PDF]

, 1990
The external limiting membrane of the avian embryonic optic tectum is isolated by mechanically separating the neuronal mesencephalon from the overlying mesenchymal tissue.

Variant Update on ASCC1: Characterization of the First Homozygous Missense Variant Involved in Prenatal‐Onset Spinal Muscular Atrophy With Congenital Bone Fractures 2

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spinal muscular atrophy with congenital bone fractures 2 is a rare and severe autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by pathogenic variants in ASCC1. This condition characterized by prenatal onset of severe hypotonia with fetal hypokinesia and congenital contractures results in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, and increased ...

Effect of oleic acid supplementation on prostaglandin production in maternal endometrial and fetal allantochorion cells isolated from late gestation ewes [PDF]

, 2015
Elevated circulating non-esterified fatty acids including oleic acid (OA) are associated with many pregnancy related complications. Prostaglandins (PGs) play crucial roles during parturition.

Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...
