Abstract

Extracellular vesicles containing glycogen phosphorylase, brain/heart (PYGB) have been demonstrated as a sensitive biomarker for normal cardiac injuries for patients after chemotherapy. Oxidative stress was suggested to be the mechanism behind the chemotherapy-induced tissue damage and augmented with mitochondrial antioxidant could be an effective means of early intervention. <i>Clin Cancer Res; 24(7); 1516-7. ©2018 AACR</i><i>See related article by Yarana et al., p. 1644</i>.
