Article Synopsis
- Researchers identified specific DNA methylation patterns in lung cells that could serve as biomarkers for lung damage by detecting lung-derived cfDNA in blood.
- A specialized assay was developed to analyze these methylation patterns in both healthy individuals and patients with lung diseases.
- The findings suggest that elevated lung cfDNA levels correlate with conditions like advanced lung cancer, acute exacerbation of COPD, and may indicate ongoing lung injury, offering a new, precise method for monitoring lung health.
