Novel Device Measures Stiffness and Stickiness in Erythrocytes

In sickle cell disease, hemoglobin molecules polymerize intracellularly and lead to a cascade of events resulting in decreased deformability and increased adhesion of red blood cells. Decreased deformability and increased adhesion of sickle RBCs lead to blood vessel occlusion, known as vaso-occlusion, in SCD patients.   More...

3D Printed Diagnostic Device Rapidly Detects Anemia

A new biomedical device has been developed using 3D printers to create a low cost, point-of-care device that can quickly detect anemia, a condition in which the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells to transport oxygen to the body's organs.   More...

The cyclic-square wave of the electrical field (csw E-field) was applied to release and detect the EGFR mutations. EGFR sequences were measured on the electrochemical sensor with a capture probe precoated in conducting polymer (Photo courtesy of University of California-Los Angeles).

Novel Saliva Test Identifies and Tracks Cancer

A rapid, accurate test that can detect biomarkers of lung cancer in saliva is soon to be trialed in patients and the test takes only 10 minutes to give a result and could be done in the doctor's office.  More...
