Circular RNA is enriched and stable in exosomes: a promising biomarker for cancer diagnosis
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are recently identified as a naturally occurring family of widespread and diverse endogenous noncoding RNAs that may regulate gene expression in mammals . They are unusually sta- ble RNA molecules with cell type- or developmental stage-specific expression patterns . Exosomes...

Summary: | Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are recently identified as a naturally occurring family of widespread and diverse endogenous noncoding RNAs that may regulate gene expression in mammals . They are unusually sta- ble RNA molecules with cell type- or developmental stage-specific expression patterns . Exosomes are small membrane vesicles of endocytic origin secreted by most cell types. They contain a specific cargo of protein, mRNA and microRNA species, which can modulate recipient cell behaviors and may be used as biomarkers for diagnosis of human diseases . |
