Brazilian researchers have developed an electrochemical sensor that can detect pancreatic cancer in its early stages. The device identifies the biomarker molecule CA19-9, which is associated with the ...

Breast cancer is on the rise, but new tools for early detection could save lives. In Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B, researchers from the University of Florida and National Yang Ming Chiao ...

Schematic of a generic biosensor architecture. The target analyte interacts with an immobilized bioreceptor layer, and the resulting molecular recognition event is translated by a physico-chemical ...

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 ...

Since its origins in the 1960s, the biosensors field has grown to encompass a wide range of sensors, from enzyme-based to immunosensors to thermal biosensors. Along with this, a diverse set of ...

Scientists can do some nifty things with microbes, including engineering bacterial cells to sense and signal the presence of specific compounds. These microbial whole-cell biosensors have numerous ...
