Silk-Based Technique Stabilizes Fluid Samples for Diagnostics or Research
Drying blood or other biological fluid samples together with silk fibroin has been suggested as an alternative to refrigeration or drying on paper for transporting specimens from the field to the laboratory. More...01 Jun 2016


Bioelectronic Device Detects Marker Linked to Neurodegenerative Diseases and Cancer
Researchers have developed a inexpensive transistor sensor for detection of biomolecules and other substances. Their first biosensor successfully detects the enzyme glutathione S-transferase (GST), linked to Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and breast cancer, among other diseases. The team is also developing an innovative paper-based electronic sensor to lower the cost even further. More...31 May 2016

Novel Technology Detects Blood Clots With Simple POC Test
Patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, kidney disease and others who are at risk for blood clotting are especially vulnerable when blood-thinning medication levels get too weak or too strong. More...25 May 2016
