Novel molecular biomarkers for detection of autologous blood transfusion in sport: Fetal hemoglobin and microRNAs
Resource description
Project Title: Novel molecular biomarkers for detection of autologous blood transfusion in sport: Fetal hemoglobin and microRNAs
Researchers: Pr. F. Manfredini, Pr. R. Gambari, Dr. R. Reverberi, Pr. M. Borgatti
Institution: University of Ferrara, Italy
Year accepted: 2014
Summary: We hypothesized that among the potential sensitive parameters, two biomarkers might show changes of interest during ABT: microRNA, small non coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and fetal haemoglobin (HbF), the main oxygen transport protein in the human fetus and still present at low concentration in red blood cells of healthy adults.
