Japanese Researchers Develop New Filter to Use microRNA as Disease Biomarker

Cancers tend to produce microRNA molecules that are present in whole blood and, if isolated and sequenced, can serve as excellent biomarkers for the presence of cancer.  Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have come up with a device that can rapidly separate microRNAs from a mixture of RNA and DNA, opening the door for microRNAs to become a (Read more...)
