Deskripsi

Extracellular vesicles (EV)-associated RNAs are serum biomarkers potentially exploitable for early cancer diagnosis. Here the authors develop a catalyzed hairpin DNA circuit within a cationic lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticle that can detect low–level EV-associated RNAs in early stage cancer patients.
