Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies globally. Early diagnosis of it can significantly improve patients’ survival and quality of life. Urinary exosomes (UEs)-derived miRNAs...

Tumor-secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) are the main mediators of cell-cell communication, permitting cells to exchange proteins, lipids, and...

University of Houston Researcher Receives $2.7M Grant to Develop Test with ‘Unprecedented Early Detection Power’ Liquid biopsy...

Liquid biopsy-based biomarkers, including microRNAs packaged within extracellular vesicles, are promising tools for patient management. The cytokine tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) is related to PCa progression and is found in the semen of patients with PCa. ...

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA that forms a covalently closed continuous loop. The expression pattern of circRNA varies among cell types and tissues, and many circRNAs are aberrantly expressed in various cancers. Aberrantly expressed circRNAs have ...

Ymir Genomics LLC (Ymir) and the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Knight Cancer Institute today announced a licensing agreement and filed patent application that seeks to protect and promote newly-discovered high value urinary biomarkers for detecting cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular ...

Exosomes are produced by normal and cancer cells. Exosomes are found in the serum of cancer patients and have been used for diagnosis and prognosis. Recently tears from non-cancer patients have been found to contain exosomes. In the present report ...

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are increasingly being recognized as important vehicles of intercellular communication and promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in cancer. Despite this enormous...

A novel blood test that uses gold nanoparticles to detect cancer has also been shown to identify signals released by cancer cells which could result...

Exosomal biomarkers including tumor-derived exosomes, exosomal surface proteins and exosomal nucleic acids have emerged as one of the most important and general cancer biomarkers in modern...
