'Lab-on-a-chip' detects cancer faster: Study
Scientists have developed a 'lab-on-a-chip' may allow doctors to detect cancer quickly from a droplet of blood or plasma, leading to timelier interventions and better outcomes for patients. The ultrasensitive diagnostic device, developed by researchers at University of Kansas in the US, detects exosomes -- tiny parcels of biological information produced by tumour cells to stimulate tumour growth or metastasize. 'Historically, people thought exosomes were like 'trash bags' that cells could use to
