Researchers present sensor prototype that can rapidly, precisely, and cost-effectively measure molecular signals for cancer The CRISPR/Cas technology can do more than alter genes.... Read more
Building on new insights about nanoparticles, investigators develop a test for early detection of diseases, including different types of cancer Investigators from Brigham and Women... Read more
Using tiny micromotors to diagnose and treat disease in the human body could soon be a reality. But keeping these devices intact as they travel through the body remains a hurdle. N... Read more
A strip of paper can now indicate presence of pathogens, tumor DNA, or any genetic signature of interest. 100-fold greater sensitivity, the ability to detect multiple targets at on... Read more
Innovative microfluidic chip uses only standard lab microscope to spot nano-biomolecules without any fluorescent labels A novel invention by a team of researchers from the National... Read more
By attaching specialised molecules to the backbone of DNA, researchers have made it easier to detect rare molecules associated with early disease. The presence of, or changes in th... Read more
A blood test using infrared spectroscopy can be used to diagnose two types of cancer, lymphoma and melanoma, according to a study led by Georgia State University. Researchers used... Read more
Discovery could lead to revolutionary handheld disease diagnostic system Researchers from the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering have found yet another rema... Read more
New dipstick technology that enables pathogen detection and the rapid diagnosis of human, animal and plant disease in even the most remote locations has been developed by Universit... Read more
Pancreatic cancer has one of the worst prognoses — with a five-year survival rate of 9 percent — in part because there are no telltale symptoms or non-invasive screening tools to c... Read more
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have developed a method that could make magnetic resonance imaging—MRI—multicolor. Current MRI techniques rely on... Read more
Researchers gauge a cell’s stiffness, which can reflect cancer or other conditions, simply by watching it. The stiffness or elasticity of a cell can reveal much about whether the c... Read more
The field of medicine is always on the lookout for better disease diagnostic tools—simpler, faster, and cheaper technologies to enhance patient treatment and outcomes. Currently, m... Read more
