RNA Biomarker
RNA circulates in cell-free biofluids encapsulated in extracellular vesicles or bound to proteins, offering a non-invasive window into cellular and molecular processes. RNA sequencing is a powerful tool for biomarker discovery, enabling the identification of disease-specific RNA signatures in biofluids like blood, urine, or saliva. These biomarkers provide critical insights into disease mechanisms, early detection, and personalized treatment strategies.
Whole blood is a rich source of RNA biomarkers, containing RNA from various cell types, including immune cells, and circulating tumor cells. Analyzing RNA expression profiles in whole blood enables the identification of disease-specific signatures, monitoring of disease progression, and assessment of treatment responses.
