Abstract (original English)

Lipids play an important role in the regulation of cell life processes. Although there are various lipid detection methods, Raman spectroscopy, a non-invasive technique, provides the detailed chemical composition of lipid profiles without a complex sample preparation procedure and possesses greater potential in basic biology, clinical diagnosis and disease therapy. In this review, we summarized the characteristics and advantages of Raman-based techniques and their primary contribution to illustrating cellular lipid metabolism.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
