Eye scanner targets neurodegenerative diseases

A multimodal eye scanner was developed as part of the MOON project. This scanner not only provides a high-resolution image of the structure using OCT but also sensitive molecular characterization of the tissue. To achieve this, the capabilities of OCT have been combined with those of Raman spectroscopy. The latter technology uses light to detect […]

Liquid biopsy offers new tools for detecting recurrent breast cancer and monitoring its progression

Liquid biopsy offers new tools for detecting recurrent breast cancer and monitoring its progression: Liquid biopsy performed on serum samples taken from breast cancer patients can provide increasingly accurate information on cancer progression and enable earlier detection of cancer recurrence, a new study from the University of Eastern Finland and Kuopio University Hospital shows. The […]
