Raman spectroscopy for pelvic organ prolapse

Caption

Raman spectroscopy showed that optical biomarkers associated with mature, functional elastic fibers were significantly reduced in the fibulin-5 deficient models. Histological staining (pictured here) confirmed substantial decrease in the amount of functional elastic fibers present within vaginal tissue.
