A Rutgers-led team of researchers has developed a microchip that can measure stress hormones in real time from a drop of blood. The study appears in the journal Science Advances. Cortisol and other stress hormones regulate many aspects of our physical and mental health, including sleep quality. High levels of cortisol can result in poor […]
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have found a way to detect a very low amount of a cancer biomarker in undiluted blood in just 15 minutes, a result that could eventually play a key role in evaluating the effectiveness of cancer treatments. The researchers at UNSW Science’s School of Chemistry, The Australian Center for NanoMedicine, and […]
High salt intake is a well-known risk factor of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Reducing salt intake can significantly lower blood pressure and ameliorate target organ damage caused by hypertension. However, in the past three decades, several strategies have failed to decrease daily salt intake to an optimal level. Therefore, it is important to identify alternative […]
Effective corona test in views? In the Corona-crisis, we urgently need effective ways to protect us and a possible disease at an early stage to determine. Now, a new Sensor has been developed that allows for detection of corona viruses very quickly. Through the cooperation between the Empa, the ETH Zurich and University hospital Zurich […]
