The Role of Exosome RNA in Cancer

The Relationship Between Exosomes and Cancer Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles derived from intracellular lysosomes that shuttle a variety of biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, amino acids and metabolites, and play a key role in regulating intercellular communication. Exosomes can be secreted by almost all types of cells, including immune cells, blood cells, neuronal […]

Cell-Free RNA (cfRNA) as A Liquid Biopsy Biomarker for Disease Screening and Diagnosis

What is Cell-free RNA (cfRNA)? Cell-free RNA (cfRNA) refers to RNA molecules that are present in bodily fluids, such as blood, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid, outside of cells. It is distinct from intracellular RNA, which is confined within the cellular boundaries. cfRNA encompasses a diverse population of RNA molecules, including messenger RNA (mRNA), non-coding RNA […]
