Blood Test Identifies Prediabetics with Highest Risk of Developing Diabetes Before Symptoms Develop
A blood test can identify high-risk, asymptomatic patients with prediabetes who cannot be detected by standard diabetes tests, hemoglobin A1C and glucose. The test meets a critical clinical need as it can be used by physicians to identify patients closest to developing type 2 diabetes and provide treatment to prevent the onset of the disease. More...

Wearable Sensing Patch Enables Rapid Quantitative Analysis of Urea in Body Fluids
There has been growing focus on wearable fluorescence-based sensors, although traditional fluorescent hydrogels are excited by short wavelengths, hampering the detection of biological samples. Now, researchers have developed a wearable sensing patch that enables the rapid quantitative analysis of urea. More...24 Feb 2023
Strip-Type Urine Sensor Diagnoses Cancer Quickly and With High Sensitivity
Various blood tests, radiological methods and histological analysis are currently used to diagnose cancer. Annual health checkups can also reveal the presence of cancer, although the disease is mostly detected after it has advanced considerably, resulting in delayed treatment or death. Now, a research team has developed a strip-type urine sensor that can amplify the light signal of metabolites in urine to help diagnose cancer. More...15 Feb 2023
