Abstract
The presence of DNA and RNA circulating in human plasma and serum is described. The possible sources of the DNA/RNA in blood, their ability to enter other cells and to express in the recipient cells are discussed and the relationship with metastases considered. The possible role(s) of the DNA/RNA in clinical diagnosis, in monitoring treatment and in prognosis are considered for diabetes and oncology.
Keywords: Circulating DNA/RNA, plasma/serum, diabetes, cancer, diagnosis, nucleic acid uptake/expression
