Researchers Create Unique DNA Biosensor for Early Stage Disease Detection

These biosensors detect, transmit and record information about biological substances, such as DNA and RNA, proteins, antibodies, antigens, and more.

Disease detection at an early stage is one of the biggest challenges biochemists and materials scientists are trying to meet by combining their expertise at Missouri S&T.    The researchers used nanotechnology in biomedical diagnostics – a process called nanodiagnostics – to create a new, ultrasensitive DNA biosensor.    The new sensor could potentially detect DNA-based biomarkers for early diagnosis of cancer and genetic disorders, as well as monitor patient responses to therapies. ...
