Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women worldwide (1). While it is the leading cause of death due to cancer for women in the developing world, it is still the second cause of death due to cancer in developed countries (2). Lower rates of breast cancer survival are linked to the disease being… Read article →
In recent years, the discovery that microRNAs are stable in biofluids has led to intense research into their utility in understanding diseases, as well as normal biology. miRNA-seq is emerging as a key technology for microRNA expression studies, but specific challenges have limited its use for biofluid microRNAs. That is, until now. On March 20,… Read article →
The more we learn about exosomes, the more we realize just how powerful they are in cancer. As agents of cell-to-cell communication, exosomes play important roles in tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and metastasis. One of the most interesting areas in which exosomes are exerting their influence is at the interface of cancer and another key process… Read article →
Healthcare research has been moving towards finding new, noninvasive procedures – commonly referred to as “liquid biopsies” – to replace our current protocols for diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Current protocols have tended to be overly invasive, posing health risks to the patient and decreasing quality of life. This movement has been very prevalent in the… Read article →
