Exosome Diagnostics, Inc. is focused on commercializing minimally invasive molecular diagnostics using body fluids. Exosomes are lipid-covered microvesicles shed by solid tumors into bodily fluids, such as blood and urine. Tumor exosomes contain nucleic acid sequences of a cancer`s genetic material. In published studies, Exosome Diagnostics has demonstrated the ability to extract exosomes from the blood and urine of cancer patients, and to detect with high sensitivity and specificity key genes and gene mutations associated with a variety of cancers.
