Open AccessDetection of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles in plasma from patients with solid cancer
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are actively secreted by cells into body fluids and contain nucleic acids of the cells they originate from. The goal of this study was to detect circulating tumor-derived EVs (ctEV...
