Kids with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL, need swift and accurate diagnosis. This is where a new tool comes in. It is a biosensor that can spot even the tiniest traces of an enzyme called TdT. This enzyme is a key player in ALL. The biosensor uses a clever trick called cascade amplificatio
Mesenchymal stromal cells, or MSCs, are special cells that can change into different types of cells. This makes them very interesting for treating osteoarthritis, a condition that causes joint pain and stiffness. Most treatments for osteoarthritis only help with symptoms, like pain, and do not slow
The ability to tell apart different types of aminoglycosides is a big deal in medical science. This is because these antibiotics come in various forms, each with unique properties and effects. Recently, a clever method was devised to create a sensor array. This array can distinguish between these di
The liver is a crucial organ that often gets overlooked. One of the most common liver issues is steatotic liver disease, often called fatty liver. It's a growing problem, especially among minority groups. The usual advice for managing it is to change your lifestyle. But, this is not always easy.
