Urinary microRNA-based early cancer detection using nanowire-based devices
Urinary microRNA-based early cancer detection using nanowire-based devices
Read the latest Nanopinion guest column from Dr. Yasui Takao on using nanowire devices to extract microRNAs from urine to distinguish cancer patients from healthy individuals and improve the early detection of cancer.
‘Identification of tumor-specific microRNAs presents a powerful opportunity to potentially reduce cancer mortality through early detection. It has also been reported that there is a high degree of correlation between the expression patterns of microRNAs in tissues and those in blood and urine.'
