Paper-based point of care diagnostics for cancer biomarkers

Abstract

Early detection of cancers is key to a better prognosis. Advanced proteomics and genomic detection techniques offer great specificity and sensitivity, however, delayed symptomatic detection, cost, and patient-incompliant sample procurement...

Advances in electrochemical sensors for real-time glucose monitoring

“…3 Wearable biosensors, with a focus on sweat and interstitial fluid (ISF) as abundant sources of biochemical markers, 4,5 offer pioneering avenues for management as well as early disease detection and personalized point-of-care testing (POCT). 6–10 These sensors afford real-time physiological data acquisition through noninvasive means, enabling continuous monitoring round the clock. 11 For instance, the accurate surveillance of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia via sweat is essential for diabetic patients, as fluctuations in blood glucose levels pose significant health risks.…”
