Programming DNA-Based Biomolecules to Target Cancer Cell Membranes
January 21, 2020 | Terry Sharrer
“A new cancer-detecting tool [developed at Duke University] uses tiny circuits made of DNA to identify cancer cells by the molecular signature on their surface. The circuits work by attaching to the outside of a cell and analyzing it for proteins that are more abundant on some cell types than others. The device distinguishes cell types with higher specificity than previous methods, giving researchers hope their work could improve diagnosis, or give cancer therapies better aim.” MORE
