17.10.2024
Cancer provokes mutations in cellular DNA. Detecting these changes in patients’ blood enables physicians to prescribe anticancer treatments that are better targeted and more effective. Detection, however, is only possible in specialized clinics and proves to be a long and costly process. Tackling this problem, scientists at the University of Fribourg have developed nanosensors that enable cheaper and faster detection of mutations.
