Researchers have developed biosensors with advanced sleuthing skills and the technology may revolutionize cancer detection and monitoring.
The tiny detectives can identify key biological markers using logical reasoning inspired by the “AND” function in computers—like, when you need your username and password to log in. And unlike traditional biosensors comprised of genetic materials—cells, bits of DNA—these are made of manufactured molecules.
These new biosensors are more precise and simpler to manufacture, reducing the number of false positives and making them more practical for clinical use. And because the sensors are cell-free, there’s a reduced risk for immunogenic side effects.
“We think the accuracy and simplicity of our biosensors will lead to accessible, personalized, and effective treatments, ultimately saving lives,” says...
