The difficulty in spotting minute amounts of disease circulating in the bloodstream has proven a stumbling block in the detection and treatment of cancers that advance stealthily with few sy... 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 once, and ot... 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 Universit... 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 a single c... 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 cell is hea... 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, microfluidi... Read more
ETH researchers led by Raffaele Mezzenga have developed a new diagnostic method. It is based on Birefringence, the ability of substances to change the polarisation state of light. With this... Read more
