Article Synopsis
  • Incessant ovulation contributes to ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC), which primarily arise from the fallopian tube epithelium (FTE), and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands play a key role in this process.
  • A study investigated follicular fluid exosomes from women undergoing in vitro fertilization to identify RTK ligands and their impact on FTE cells, using various RTK inhibitors.
  • The findings revealed that FF exosomes were rich in transformative abilities and essential EGFR ligands, promoting cell growth and migration, indicating their significant contribution to HGSC development.

Formative verbal feedback during live surgery is essential for adjusting trainee behavior and accelerating skill acquisition. Despite its importance, understanding optimal feedback is challenging due to the difficulty of capturing and categorizing feedback at scale. We propose a Human-AI Collaborative Refinement Process that uses unsupervised machine learning (Topic Modeling) with human refinement to discover feedback categories from surgical transcripts.
