University of Florida researchers have developed a technique they believe will allow easy detection of a wide variety of cancers even before symptoms appear.
The technique, reported online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, involves introducing molecularly engineered strands of the genetic material, DNA, into cell cultures to see whether they produce a fluorescent light after binding to cancer proteins.
"We are able to detect cancer-related proteins very easily with this approach, which is really promising in terms of its potential for early diagnosis of cancer," study author and UF chemistry professor Weihong Tan said yesterday.
