Magnetizable Liquids Could Help Detect Cancers Faster and More Accurately

Magnetizable Liquids Could Help Detect Cancers Faster and More Accurately

A team led by Yale University scientists has developed a way to rapidly manipulate and sort different cells in the blood using magnetizable liquids. The findings, which will be published the week of December 7 in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could dramatically improve the speed and sensitivity of tests used to detect cancer biomarkers, blood disorders, viruses and other diseases.
