Journal Article Summary “Non-invasive lung cancer diagnosis by detection of GATA6 and NKX2-1 isoforms in exhaled breath condensate” by G. Barreto et al. The RTube has successfully been used to isolate RNA, microRNA and DNA from Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC). While...
As a research tool, analysis of biomarkers in exhaled breath condensate continues to be refined and reshaped as new potential applications are discovered. Collection methods, analysis techniques, and biomarker targets are being combined in new and novel ways. ...
Breath Biomarkers Breath biomarkers are just now entering mainstream consideration as selection markers and outcome variables for pharmaceutical clinical trials. This is due to the recent explosion of low-cost, high-sensitivity analytical tools creating opportunities...
We are all about respiratory research, and I mean that in the generic sense. Our breath research community strives to answer a single basic question: how can we diagnose disease using exhaled biomarkers? Most of us focus on endogenously produced compounds such as...
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a serious form of lung injury that can affect patients who require mechanical ventilation. This can be fatal, especially when the lower airway and alveoli fail to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide for a sustained period...
Measuring cytokine levels in Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) continues to be a major objective of breath research. However, there are often substantial data reporting and interpretation differences between research groups making comparisons between studies difficult....
