Liquid Biopsy Platform Isolates Circulating Disease Biomarkers

A new platform has been created with the potential to extract tiny circulating biomarkers of disease from patient blood. This simple, fast and convenient technique could help realize liquid biopsy diagnostics, which is a less invasive procedure than the current gold standard tumor biopsies. More...

Solvatochromic Trehalose Probe Rapidly Detects TB

Despite its devastating toll on health, the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can be hard to spot. Current tests rely on chemical stains and estimates put the sensitivity of these stains anywhere from 32% to 94%. More...

Novel Method Introduced for Dry Storage of Biological Samples

A novel method for preserving biological samples collected for diagnostic testing at room temperature may one day eliminate the need for refrigeration, which is often not available in third-world settings. More...

Microfluidic Device Brings Single-Cell Technology to Bedside

The complex architecture and associated higher-order function of human tissues relies on functionally and molecularly diverse cell populations. Defining the cellular subsets found in pathologic tissues provides insights into disease etiology and treatment options. More...

Biosensor System Developed for Blood Glucose Monitoring

Currently, noninvasive glucose monitoring is not widely appreciated because of its uncertain measurement, accuracy, weak blood glucose correlation and inability to detect hyperglycemia/hypoglycemia during sleep. More...
