Screening for rare but important disease ‘biomarkers’ gets an accuracy boost
Researchers have created a system that can detect and quantify small and rare biological molecules that are important for detecting disease early.
Nanoscale tweezers can perform single-molecule ‘biopsies’ on individual cells
Using electrical impulses, the ‘tweezers’ can extract single DNA, proteins and organelles from living cells without destroying them.
