Johnathan Ebben: There are more free floating mitochondria in circulation than WBCs?
Johnathan Ebben, Oncology Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, shared a post by Michal Tal, Immunoengineer at The MIT Department of Biological Engineering on X, adding:
“There are more free floating mitochondria floating in circulation (that work) than WBCs?
What are the implications for cancer biomarkers?
Immune health biomarkers?”
Quoting Michal Tal’s post:
“One of the craziest things I learned last week at AAI2024 was that we have more free-floating extracellular mitochondria in our blood than white blood cells.
This was not in any textbook that I ever read!
Read the original paper.”
