Sub-terahertz biosensors enable label-free cancer cell identification

Early detection and accurate typing of cancer are critical for improving patient survival rates. While traditional pathology remains the gold standard, it often requires complex sample processing and chemical staining. In a study published in the journal PhotoniX, researchers from the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves at Southeast University and the Zhongda Hospital of … Read more

New diagnostic framework addresses challenges of rapidly-mutating RNA viruses

The rapid evolutionary dynamics of RNA viruses, driven by high mutation rates and the consequent formation of complex quasispecies populations, present a formidable obstacle to conventional molecular diagnostic approaches. Widely used methods such as reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction are highly susceptible to performance degradation when primer or probe binding sites accumulate nucleotide mismatches. … Read more
