Faster, cheaper test predicts who needs chemotherapy or just hormonal regimen

Measuring serum autoantibodies in a liquid biopsy of prostate cancer patients, the team was able to successfully confirm tissue specific biomarkers via immunohistochemistry.

Device could allow surgeons to “see” at a cellular level in the operating room and determine where to stop cutting

New technique efficiently captures and grows tumor cells to guide selection of drug therapy

Many people imagine robots today as clunky, metal versions of humans, but scientists are forging new territory in the field of 'soft robotics.' One of the latest advances is a flexible, microscopic hand-like gripper. The development could help doctors perform remotely guided surgical procedures or perform biopsies.

University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) researcher Vladimir Zharov, Ph.D., D.Sc., recently was awarded a  $1.5 million grant by the National Institutes of Health to investigate the use of nanoparticles in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Precise, gentle and efficient cell separation from a device the size of a cell phone may be possible thanks to tilt-angle standing surface acoustic waves, according to a team of engineers.

Cancer and pre-natal problem diagnoses hastened by breakthrough DNA analysis technique developed at McGill.

Test analyzing cells’ ability to fix different kinds of broken DNA could help doctors predict cancer risk.

From the sun, a solution: Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medical College researchers have remodeled an energy-intensive medical test – designed to detect a deadly skin cancer related to HIV infections – to create a quick diagnostic assay perfect for remote regions of the world, according to Scientific Reports (Feb. 20), an online publication of Nature.
