Researchers from the University of California San Diego, in partnership with scientists in Australia, have developed a groundbreaking biosensor using bacteria. This biosensor has the remarkable ability to detect tumor DNA within living organisms. The implications of this cutting-edge innovation are immense, as it has the potential to revolutionise healthcare diagnostics
An international team of scientists has developed a new technology that can help detect (or even treat) cancer in hard-to-reach places, such as the colon.
Creating new technologically advanced sensors, scientists from UC San Diego and Australia have engineered bacteria that detect the presence of tumor DNA in live organisms. Their innovation could pave the way to new biosensors capable of identifying various infections, cancers and other diseases.
A proof-of-concept study shows that DNA-slurping bacteria can identify cancerous sequences, advancing hope of a gentler form of diagnostics.
Researchers have engineered bacteria that can detect the presence of cancer cells in the colons of mice.
