Polymers have been shown to improve the biological capabilities of optical contrast agents to improve diagnosis of diseases such as cancer.
Diagnostics
Electrified Tattoos and Personalized Biosensors
Scientists developed a fully print-in-place electronics technique that is gentle enough to work on surfaces as delicate as human skin.
A New Low-Cost Parasite Diagnostic System Could Benefit Billions
A cost‐effective, automated parasite diagnostic system that does not require special sample preparation or a trained user.
Raman Spectroscopy Can Quickly Test for Dangerous Streptococcus Bacteria
Raman spectroscopy is an emerging microbiologic diagnostic tool and can be used as an intrapartum screening test for Streptococcus bacteria.
A Functional View of Skeletal Muscle
Decades of research in skeletal muscle physiology have provided multi-scale insights into its structural and functional complexity.
