Breath test breakthrough: scientists read RNA in exhaled air
NCT ID NCT07324252
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether it is possible to collect and analyze small RNA molecules from a person's breath. Researchers took breath samples from 25 volunteers (healthy people and a few with lung disease) at rest and after intense exercise. They successfully extracted and sequenced the RNA, showing that breath can be used to study changes in the body without needles or invasive procedures.
