Exosome Profiling Pinpoints Cancer Type

No authors listed. Cancer Discov. 2020 Nov.

Abstract

A study shows that analyzing the protein contents of exosomes and related extracellular vesicles can distinguish tumors from nearby noncancerous tissue, and profiling extracellular vesicle proteins obtained from plasma may also reveal cancer type. The results support using vesicle proteins for liquid biopsies.
