Dual cancer biomarker detection achieved by using cell-membrane coated nanoparticles for a comprehensive tumor assessment.
Researcher Indrajit Srivastava holds solutions of nanoparticles that can target two cancer biomarkers, giving off two distinct signals when lit by one fluorescent wavelength. This could give surgeons a more complete picture of a tumor and guide operating-room decisions. In the background is a microscopic scan of a tissue sample. Credit: Fred Zwicky Cancer surgeons …
