Event Overview

Cellular turnover, tissue injury, and malignancy all cause nucleic acid release into the bloodstream. These cell-free nucleic acids can circulate around the body inside extracellular vesicles, which protect them from nucleases in the blood. Extracellular RNA, DNA, and proteins provide unique biomarker information about tumors—information that could be used to personalize cancer treatments. In this webinar brought to you by The Scientist, sponsored by Streck (manufacturer of RNA Complete BCT™, For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures), a panel of experts will provide insight into nucleic acids carried inside extracellular vesicles, and discuss their use in cancer research.

Topics to be covered
  • Extracellular vesicles carrying noncoding RNAs and their significance in cancer
  • Tumor extracellular vesicles pave the way for cancer metastasis
