A way to detect and measure cancer levels in a living cell by - TopicsExpress



          

A way to detect and measure cancer levels in a living cell by using tiny gold particles with tails of synthetic DNA has been developed >>The process uses gold nanoparticles (>1,000X smaller than the diameter of a human hair) to target and bind BRCA1 messenger RNA splice variants, which can indicate the presence and stage of breast cancer. The # of these mRNA splice variants in a cell can be determined by examining the specific signal that light produces when it interacts with the gold nanoparticles.
