Paper-based sensor enables rapid cardiac diagnosis in 15 minutes
Deep learning-enhanced paper-based vertical flow assay for sensitive troponin detection using nanoparticle amplification. Credit: Ozcan Lab @UCLA In a significant advance in point-of-care medical diagnostics, a UCLA research team has introduced a deep learning-enhanced paper-based vertical flow assay (VFA) that can detect cardiac troponin I (cTnI) with high sensitivity. This innovative assay has the potential to democratize access to rapid…

Light-induced immunoassay can selectively detect coronavirus spike protein in five minutes
A low-power laser induces bubble formation and convection, moving the nanoparticles and accumulating them at assembly sites on the antibody-coated substrate, accelerating detection. Credit: Osaka Metropolitan University/CC BY 4.0 Just as moths are attracted to a flame, microbes can be navigated by light. Using this knowledge, researchers at the Research Institute for Light Acceleration Systems (RILACS), Osaka Metropolitan University, have…
