| Description: |
SEM images of single (N = 1) and clustered (N= 2, 3, 4, and >5) JEG-3 placental cells captured on the surface of NanoVelcro Chips. Cells are colored in green. NanoVelcro Chips allow to capture rare cells from maternal blood to diagnose placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), a high-risk obstetrical condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
