Studies from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Describe New Findings in Disease Biomarkers (Analysis of the Longitudinal Stability of Human Plasma Mirnas and Implications for Disease Biomarkers).

A study conducted by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon, explores the stability of microRNAs (miRNAs) in human plasma and its implications for disease biomarkers. The researchers collected blood samples from 22 healthy adults over a 3-month period and found that many miRNAs showed longitudinal stability, including some that have been identified as potential biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease. The study also identified hemolysis and tobacco use as factors that can impact miRNA levels and variance. This research provides valuable insights for the development of non-invasive diagnostic and monitoring tools for various diseases. [Extracted from the article]
