Bridging the gap for precision medicine: nanofluidic aptamer nanoarray measures individual proteins
A pioneering step towards digital assays at cellular concentrations
https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/993362 #science #nanoworld #aptamers #proteins #nanofluidics #sensors
An international team led by Professor Yan Xu from Osaka Metropolitan University has developed a groundbreaking nanofluidic device, named NANa, capable of stochastically capturing and digitally detecting individual proteins at cellular concentrations. This tool, vital for precision medicine, is designed to handle tiny volumes equivalent to a single cell's contents and can identify single biomolecules even in high-concentration environments. The team plans to conduct further demonstrations using actual cell samples and explore the integration of this tool with AI and biological big data. This research could potentially revolutionize personalized disease prevention and treatment.
