Pumps Achieve High-Speed Sorting of Large Cells

The sorting of individual cells is necessary for many medical applications, including the isolation of specific cell types from cell suspensions. A fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) has been used for high-throughput cell sorting. More...

Innovative Nanosensor Developed for Disease Diagnosis

In human breath, diverse components are found including water vapor, hydrogen, acetone, toluene, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide, which are more excessively exhaled from patients. Some of these components are closely related to diseases such as asthma, lung cancer, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and halitosis. More...

Image: Microscopy images taken of Zika-infected primate placenta samples that were stained to detect Zika by immunohistochemistry. The left image shows a sample treated with the EASE protocol, with red/orange colored signals of Zika infection clearly visible (white arrows). The right image shows a sample treated with a standard protocol, and Zika virus - though present - was not detected (Photo courtesy of the University of Washington).

Horseradish Complex Increases Sensitivity of Immunochemical Assays

A new technique boosts the sensitivity of immunochemical reactions that rely on the enzyme horseradish peroxidase from 100 to 1,000 times. More...

Optofluidic Device Quantifies CTCs in Blood

Researchers have developed a portable device that rapidly detects and counts circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood samples. It can help provide early diagnosis and help assess a patient’s level of health with convenient, inexpensive, effective testing for monitoring patients with cancer. More...

Nanolock Sensor Detects Cancer Driver Mutation

Researchers have developed an accurate and sensitive “nanolock-nanopore” method that successfully diagnosed a known cancer driver mutation with results at the level of single DNA molecules in tumor tissues of thyroid cancer patients. The method can be adapted to detect a broad spectrum of both transversion and transition mutations, with applications from early diagnostics to individualized targeted therapy and monitoring. More...
