Single-vesicle profiling could push liquid biopsies toward everyday clinical use

Phys · · 486 words · By Incheon National University

The article reviews the potential of single-vesicle profiling of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. Researchers note that modern platforms can analyze individual vesicles, providing richer data than traditional bulk methods. These advancements suggest that single-EV profiling could become a routine, personalized biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring various diseases.

“researchers from Incheon National University, led by Assistant Professor Yoon Ho Roh, from Department of Energy and Chemical Engineering at Incheon National University, along with Assistant Professor Jina Ko from Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at University of Pennsylvania, reviewed the latest technologies designed to isolate and analyze EVs individually.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided for this claim consists of general university and research platform links (University of Pennsylvania, ResearchGate, INU Wikipedia). While the names and institutions mentioned (Incheon National University, University of Pennsylvania) are present in the evidence, the specific collaborative review involving 'Assistant Professor Yoon Ho Roh' and 'Assistant Professor Jina Ko' is not detailed or confirmed by the provided search snippets.
