DNA demethylation triggers cell free DNA release in colorectal cancer cells Published: October, 2024 Abstract:
Background
Liquid biopsy based on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis holds significant promise as a minimally invasive approach for the diagnosis, genotyping, and monitoring of solid malignancies. Human tumors release cfDNA in the bloodstream through... Read more »
