A new technique to diagnose chronic inflammation developed at Nagoya University can read information from the surface and within individual extracellular vesicles in blood and urine. This technique could be used to develop noninvasive tests that can not only detect chronic inflam
A new technique to diagnose chronic inflammation developed at Nagoya University can read information from the surface and within individual extracellular vesicles in blood and urine. This technique could be used to develop noninvasive tests that can not only detect chronic inflammation but also provide information about the tissues where it occurs.
