New theory addresses frozen Earth paradox
NEWCASTLE, England, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- The European Union has awarded a grant to international researchers, led by the University of Newcastle, to develop a biosensor to detect disease.
The $14 million grant for the sensor could help in early diagnosis and effective monitoring of cancers and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, reported the BBC Friday.
The technology is the same time that used in navigation systems and car airbags, but the vibrating disc is no bigger than a speck of dust.
The device identifies cancer markers, proteins or other molecules produced by cancer cells, which are distinct from proteins produced by healthy cells.
