A CRISPR-based method for detecting mRNA in extracellular vesicles

A CRISPR-based assay both recognizes and amplifies target mRNA, achieving sub-attomolar sensitivity with single-nucleotide resolution. This method enables the detection of low-abundance mRNA in extracellular vesicles, providing clinically relevant information for precision oncology.
