The purpose of this review is to determine the potential and applicability of IRT in the context of dynami...

Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has been investigated as a screening tool for many diseases. To avoid expensive and time-consuming DNA isolation, direct quantification PCR assays can be established. However, rigorous validation is required to provide reliable data in the clinical and non-clinical context. Considering the International Organizatio...

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation-based diagnostics is a promising approach in oncology and hematooncology. Exercise impacts immune homeostasis and leads to a rapid and marked increase of cfDNA levels in blood. Since the origin of cfDNA during exercise remains elusive, the implications for liquid biopsy are unknown. In this study, we identified the...

Infrared thermography is increasingly applied in sports science due to promising observations regarding changes in skin’s surface radiation temperature ( $T_{sr}$ ) before, during, and after exercise. The common manual thermogram analysis limits an objective and reproducible measurement of $T_{sr}$ . Previous analysis approaches depend on expert...

Background: It has been observed that severe muscle damage induced by drop jumps has a significant effect on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) concentration. We hypothesized that a reduced volume of drop jumps would indicate a dose-dependent release of cfDNA.

Background Mitochondria are versatile eukaryotic organelles that play a crucial role in the body’s stress response. Prolonged stress exposure can cause structural and functional alterations, leading to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage and subsequent release of mtDNA into the circulation. Cell-free circulating mtDNA (ccf-mtDNA) is a potential biomar...

Circulating cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is a promising biomarker for physiological stress, including exercise‐induced responses. However, the lack of standardization in blood collection tubes (BCTs) for quantification of cfDNA hampers inter‐study comparisons. In this study, we assessed the impact of different BCTs on exercise‐induced cfDNA dynamics. Elev...
