miRNA as Biomarkers: Types, Characteristics, Detection Technology, and Applications

Caption

 A. miRNA and circulating miRNA in extracellular vesicles can be obtained from cancer tissues and blood samples. B. miRNA detection is characterized by stability, specific expression, and low trauma. C. Techniques such as RT-PCR, in situ hybridization, Northern blot, deep sequencing, microarray chips, and nanotechnology enable efficient miRNA detection. D. miRNA can serve as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and predicting drug efficacy.
