1.4 nm gold nanoparticle-antibody conjugates for in situ gold immunolabelling after transduction into living human cells by Groysbeck, Nadja, Haeberlé, Anne Marie, Ory, Stéphane, Hanss, Victor, Eltsov, Mikhael, Schultz, Patrick, Zuber, Guy

“…However, current gold particle-antibody conjugates are not built with enough chemical precision to match the current resolution offered by cryo-EM methodology. Furthermore, as a close to native specimen state can only be achieved by strict preservation of a frozen hydrated state, it is required to deliver gold labelling agents into living cells prior to their vitrification. …”

Prediction of Reproductive Outcomes of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles Using a Multivariate Scoring System by Ahmed Abuelsoud Abden, Momen Ahmed Kamel, Ahmed Nabil Fetih, Ali Haroun Yousef

“…Women with low scores had significantly higher pregnancy and live birth rates compared to women with high scores (60.1% vs. 7.4%, respectively, P < 0.001; 44.7% vs. 6.7%, respectively, P < 0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) in the ROC curve analysis showed a higher predictability for the scoring system for live birth rate with an AUC of 0.796, with a sensitivity of 86.5% and specificity of 63.8% when using a cut-off level of ≤14. …”
