Noninvasive and Multicancer Biomarkers: The Promise of LINE-1 Retrotransposons

Description

LINE-1 retrotransposons are frequently active in epithelial tumors. In a new study, Taylor, Wu and colleagues now describe that one of the proteins encoded by LINE-1 elements, ORF1p, is detected in the bloodstream of patients with cancer, and can be used as a noninvasive and multicancer biomarker for diagnosis or treatment monitoring.
