Biomarker Imaging for Preclinical Cancer Research
Cancer biomarkers that do not cross the translational gap to clinical practice can still further research and drug discovery. In this article, we review several techniques commonly used for cancer biomarker imaging at preclinical stages, as well as recent technological advances.
Extracellular Vesicles as Breast Cancer Biomarkers
Triple-negative breast cancer is particularly aggressive, challenging to treat, and accounts for 15-20% of all breast cancers. In this blog, we review a study published in Nature Communications that examines the transforming growth factor-β targetable signaling pathway, its role in malignant cancer progression and immune suppression, and tumor-derived extracellular vesicles as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.
