Abstract

Using exRNAs to Diagnose Diseases and Injuries of the Central Nervous System

Kendall Van Keuren-Jensen, Professor and Deputy Director, Translational Genomics Research Institute

A variety of RNAs are secreted into biofluids by every cell type, packaged within extracellular vesicles (EVs) or bound to proteins. exRNAs present in multiple biofluids can act as potential prognostic or predictive biomarkers of a wide range of diseases and injuries.
