Journal Article
Butler, A. E., Cunningham, T. K., Ramachandran, V., Diboun, I., Halama, A., Sathyapalan, T., …Atkin, S. L. (2021). Association of microRNAs With Embryo Development and Fertilization in Women Undergoing Subfertility Treatments: A Pilot Study. Frontiers in Reproductive Health, 3, Article 719326. https://doi.org/10.3389/frph.2021.719326

Objective: Small non-coding RNAs, known as microRNAs (miRNAs), have emerging regulatory functions within the ovary that have been related to fertility. This study was undertaken to determine if circulating miRNAs reflect the changes associated with t...

Expression of microRNA in follicular fluid in women with and without PCOS (2019)
Journal Article
Butler, A. E., Ramachandran, V., Hayat, S., Dargham, S. R., Cunningham, T. K., Benurwar, M., …Atkin, S. L. (2019). Expression of microRNA in follicular fluid in women with and without PCOS. Scientific reports, 9(1), Article 16306. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-52856-5

© 2019, The Author(s). Several studies have shown the expression of small non-coding microRNA (miRNA) changes in PCOS and their expression in follicular fluid has been described, though the number of studies remains small. In this prospective cohort... Read More about Expression of microRNA in follicular fluid in women with and without PCOS.

Association of vitamin D metabolites with embryo development and fertilization in women with and without PCOS undergoing subfertility treatment (2019)
Journal Article
