ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Research aimed at teasing apart the workings of RNA enzymes eventually may lead to ways of monitoring fat metabolism and might even assist in the search for signs of life on Mars, ...

The biosensor uses "capture probes" called aptamers, which are single strands of DNA that bind to virus proteins, flagging them. The team's big challenge was finding a way to get these aptamers to ...

What are the challenges for real-time biosensing and “edge” analysis? How do gold and gold-silver nanowires address the issue? How these sensors can implement elementary logic functions. Wearable ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ensuring the safety of drinking water, food supplies, and environmental samples depends on detecting bacterial contamination before it causes harm. Traditional microbiological ...

Wearable biosensors typically consist of a recognition region that detects the target signal, a transducer that converts that signal into a measurable parameter, and an electronic processor that ...

A biosensor is a device that has the potential to detect a particular substance or analyte with high specificity. Examples of such analytes include glucose, lactate, glutamate and glutamine. Most ...

Biomarkers are components that may be present in biological samples and are related to specific diseases. Therefore, doctors can analyze biological samples from a patient to check their health ...
