Abstract
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) holds significant promise for diagnostic and therapeutic advancements in medicine. This review delineates the utility of cfDNA in diagnostics and its therapeutic potential through clearance mechanisms for an array of diseases. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are endogenous molecules released by host cells during stress, or injury. As a trigger for inflammatory responses via damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), cfDNA's removal via nanotechnological approaches can attenuate inflammation and promote tissue repair. While the application of cfDNA clearance is particularly auspicious in cancer, sepsis, and inflammatory conditions, it is confronted with challenges including toxicity, specificity, and the rigors of clinical trial validation. Collectively, this review delineates novel therapeutic targets to inform the development of innovative treatment strategies.
