Nanosensors could help determine tumors’ ability to remodel tissue

Thursday, September 29, 2016 - 17:21 in Biology & Nature

MIT researchers have designed nanosensors that can profile tumors and may yield insight into how they will respond to certain therapies. The system is based on levels of enzymes called proteases, which cancer cells use to remodel their surroundings. Once adapted for humans, this type of sensor could be used to determine how aggressive a […]
