A new light-based sensor can spot incredibly tiny amounts of cancer biomarkers in blood, raising the possibility of earlier ...

A new CRISPR-powered light sensor can detect the faintest whispers of cancer in a single drop of blood.

The researchers measured the variation in DNA methylation patterns to develop the method and applied it to multiple types of cancer.

The race for early cancer detection is one that physicians have been running for millennia. In one of humanity’s oldest surviving medical texts, the ancient Egyptian physician Imhotep described 46 ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new sensor that uses light to detect extremely tiny signs of cancer in the blood, raising hopes for earlier diagnosis through a simple blood test. The technology ...

A new, error-corrected method for detecting cancer from blood samples is much more sensitive and accurate than prior methods and may be useful for monitoring disease status in patients following ...

Platelets are probably best known for their role in blood clotting, making scabs and related, if less salubrious, contributions to heart attacks and strokes. But these tiny, saucer-shaped blood cells ...

Angus is STAT’s cancer reporter. Marissa, when not working as an intern, studies extracellular vesicles in the brain in her Ph.D. research. Angus Chen covers all issues broadly related to cancer ...

A noninvasive urinary DNA methylation test demonstrated high sensitivity for detecting high-grade or invasive bladder cancer. A urinary DNA methylation test displayed superior sensitivity for ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...
