Researchers report successful results from a hand-held breast cancer screening device that can detect breast cancer biomarkers from a tiny sample of saliva. Their design uses common components, such ...

Researchers have used off-the-shelf components to create a sensor device that is not only cost-effective but can quickly detect 32 different pathogens and has sensitivities on par with the ...

The biosensor uses "capture probes" called aptamers, which are single strands of DNA that bind to virus proteins, flagging them. The team's big challenge was finding a way to get these aptamers to ...

Wearable and implantable biosensors that can accurately detect biological molecules in a non- or minimally invasive manner have vast potential for monitoring patients' physiology and response to ...

Biosensors are analytical devices that combine biological components and physicochemical detectors to detect chemical and biological substances. Nanotechnology, with the help of nanomaterials, ...

The field of biosensor technology is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by the need for precise, real-time monitoring of biochemical processes such as ...

A new biotech startup has hatched from the University of Washington’s Institute for Protein Design with $6 million in funding and a leadership team fresh from Neoleukin Therapeutics, another IPD ...

Detecting the activity of CRISPR gene editing tools in organisms with the naked eye and an ultraviolet flashlight is now possible using technology developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge ...
