New sensors could offer early detection of lung tumors
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
MIT researchers have developed a urine test that can offer early detection of proteins linked to lung cancer. The diagnostic sensor, developed by a team led by Sangeeta Bhatia, is based on nanoparticles that can be injected or inhaled.
