First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This small pilot study explored whether it is possible to collect and analyze tiny genetic molecules (small RNAs) from a person's breath. Researchers took breath samples from 14 volunteers (11 healthy and 3 with lung cancer and COPD) at rest and after intense exercise. They successfully extracted and sequenced the RNA, showing that this non-invasive method could one day help diagnose or monitor lung diseases without needles or scans.
