Circulating microRNA is highly stable in blood, making it a potential biomarker for malignancies.
Is it true that circulating microRNA is highly stable in blood, making it a potential biomarker for malignancies?
Yes. Circulating microRNAs are stable in blood and protected by carriers like extracellular vesicles, supporting their use as promising non-invasive liquid biopsy biomarkers for various malignancies.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 6 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
Multiple studies and reviews indicate that circulating microRNAs are stable in blood (often protected inside extracellular vesicles or exosomes) and show strong potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for various cancers.
