Biosensor Chip Enables High-Sensitivity Protein Analysis for Disease Diagnosis
Scientists developed an innovative biosensor chip that not only recognizes proteins that are characteristic for specific diseases, but also can reveal if these proteins are altered through the influence of disease or drugs. More...19 May 2010
Gene Testing Patents Block Competition, Slow Innovation
Exclusive licenses to gene patents, most of which in the United States are held by academic institutions and based on taxpayer-funded research, do more to block competition in the gene testing market than to trigger the development of new technologies for gauging disease risk, according to researchers.
