Article Synopsis
- - Endometriosis is a common condition that typically requires surgery for diagnosis, indicating a need for non-invasive biomarkers, such as extracellular vesicles (EVs), though research on EVs in this context is limited.
- - This study explored how effective it is to isolate EVs from cervico-vaginal fluid using cervical brushes and vaginal swabs, finding that both methods yield intact vesicles with some contaminants, but cervical brushes produced higher particle concentrations.
- - While both sampling techniques showed similar levels of protein and miRNA, the overall EV yield was low, suggesting that either method could potentially be used for future biomarker research in endometriosis.
