Detection of exosome miRNAs using molecular beacons for diagnosing prostate cancer
Jinhee Lee, Min Hee Kwon, Jeong Ah Kim & Won Jong Rhee
Prostate cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among males worldwide. However, the biomarker for diagnosing prostate cancer that is used currently has limitations that must be overcome. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that the cancer liquid biopsy can be implemented by using exosome miRNAs. However, the current methods for the detection of exosome miRNAs are time-consuming, expensive, and laborious. Thus, we investigated a novel method for diagnosing prostate cancer that involves the...
