MicroRNA as Cancer-Specific Biomarkers
October 3, 2023 | Terry Sharrer
“A multiclass, machine learning-generated, model using microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles that can point to highly specific cancer types has been created by researchers from Florida Atlantic University (FAU)’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. Their study, published in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ journal IEEE Xplore, suggests that miRNAs may be highly unique to specific cancerous tissues and can be strong biomarkers for detection and classification. Since miRNA can be detected, with high accuracy, directly from blood, urine, and saliva, they could be a useful basis for diagnostics.” MORE
