Platelets Shown to Store DNA in Study that could Transform Cancer Screening
Study led by Psaila Group uncovers previously unknown function of platelets as DNA ‘vacuum cleaners’ in the blood, with profound implications for cancer diagnosis and prenatal screening.

NEW: Oxford researchers have discovered an unexpected and powerful new function for platelets.
Platelets act as scavengers, capturing and storing fragments of DNA that are circulating in the blood, including fetal DNA and mutated DNA from cancer cells. ⬇️

Exciting times for mutCALR MPNs - lovely data from the ET cohort presented in late breaking abstract at @EHA_Hematology. Rapid platelet control after just 2 doses with 89% of patients benefitting from a molecular response with INCA033989. @mpnvoice.bsky.social @mpnrf.bsky.social @mpnhv.bsky.social
