Sensor Technology May Improve Cancer Diagnosis
Researchers have developed a plasmonic sensor that could provide reliable early detection of biomarkers for many forms of cancer and eventually for other diseases. The sensor detected cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) to the magnitude of only 1 nanogram/milliliter. More...19 Jun 2017
Antimalarial Compound Improves Forensics of Bloodstains
Forensic investigators often use a luminol chemiluminescence test to detect latent bloodstains at crime scenes. Now, researchers have found that combining luminol with the antimalarial drug artemisinin, a natural peroxide, reduces the risk of false positives compared to the traditional method that mainly uses hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate as coreactants. They also obtained test results using a smartphone, which could provide highly accurate on-scene analyses. More...12 Jun 2017
Strip Test Enables Home Monitoring of Heart Condition
Heart failure can often be managed with medications and lifestyle changes, but its progression needs to be monitored closely to adjust treatment and prevent emergency room visits. Now scientists have developed a simple paper test strip that could potentially allow patients to monitor themselves for the first time. More...05 Jun 2017
