Report Summarizes Breast Cancer Study Findings from Yazd University (Flexible Electrochemical Paper-based Device for Detection of Breast Cancer-derived Exosome Using Nickel Nanofoam 3d Nanocomposite).

A study conducted at Yazd University in Iran has developed a new method for detecting breast cancer-derived exosomes using a flexible electrochemical paper-based device. Exosomes are biomarkers that are released by tumor cells and can be found in various biological fluids. The device, called Exo-sensing paper, is a three-electrode system that utilizes a nanocomposite of nickel nanofoam, graphene oxide, and gold nanoparticles to increase antibody loading on the sensor surface. The device has a wide linear range of detection and shows potential for use as a point-of-care testing tool for minimally invasive liquid biopsy. [Extracted from the article]
