摘要:
Methods for diagnosis and treatment of cancers by use of exosomes comprising miRNAs and precursors thereof. For example, in some aspects, a cancer may be diagnosed or evaluated by determining the miRNA content of exosomes in a sample from a subject or by detecting miRNA processing in exosomes.
摘要:
The present invention provides that exosomes from human body fluid samples contain double stranded genomic DNA that spans all chromosomes and may be used to determine the mutation status of genes of interest in diseases, such as cancer. Furthermore, the present invention provides the use of exosomes to produce therapeutic proteins and for their use in therapy as well as the detection of cancer cell-derived exosomes to diagnose cancer and monitor therapeutic response.
