Team develops non-invasive biosensor for early detection of kidney disease

Researchers have developed a biosensor that uses affinity peptides to detect symmetrical dimethylarginine (SDMA), an early marker of kidney problems. This sensor measures SDMA levels in urine with high accuracy, making it a practical and cost-effective tool for early diagnosis and monitoring.
