flag Researchers identified EV-UGRs, potential cancer biomarkers, in blood and urine of prostate cancer patients, possibly revolutionizing non-invasive diagnostics.

flag Researchers at Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine have identified a new class of RNAs called EV-UGRs (Extracellular Vesicles-Associated Unannotated Genomic Regions) in blood and urine samples of prostate cancer patients. flag These RNA molecules, often referred to as "dark matter" of the human genome, undergo changes when cancer is present, suggesting their potential as biomarkers for early detection or therapeutic targets. flag This non-invasive diagnostic method could eliminate the need for biopsy procedures, with the potential to revolutionize cancer and disease diagnostics. flag The research is published in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles and supported by the National Institutes of Health.
