A recent study and subsequent publication done in partnership with Lee Women’s Hospital and Chung Shan University has yielded promising results in regard to ora® Non-Invasive Endometrial Receptivity Test.
Receptivity biology is detectable systemically, not only in endometrial tissue. Peripheral blood biomarkers can reflect the implantation window, even if the exact molecules differ from biopsy-based markers. It is best understood as ready a pathway-level physiological state, rather than replicating tissue biopsy markers one-to-one.
| Further details and implications of the study | Takeaway |
|---|---|
| The paper studies the P+3 to P+7 implantation window and show dynamic regulation over time | Endometrial receptivity is a time dependent biological state |
| Seventeen plasma miRNAs changed significantly across the same window | The above-mentioned dynamics are visible in plasma |
| Shared enriched pathways include apoptosis, cell cycle, aging, inflammation, and lipid metabolism | Plasma and the endometrium converge on the same receptive biology. |
| The assay does not need to reproduce endometrial tissue biopsy biomarkers exactly to capture the same functional state. | A blood-based test like ora® is biologically plausible. |
