Promising but preliminary

Multi-parametric profiling of plasma-derived extracellular vesicles reveals a disease-associated molecular signature supporting a liquid biopsy approach in myelofibrosis.

Blood tests measuring cell particles offer a gentler way to monitor myelofibrosis than repeated bone marrow biopsies.

This study identified a disease-associated EV-based molecular signature in myelofibrosis plasma that supports a non-invasive liquid biopsy approach to disease monitoring. This intersection of hematologic malignancy and liquid biopsy is promising for reducing reliance on bone marrow biopsies in MPN.
