BigField GEG Tech's insight:
Researchers have built a microscope that uses the camera on a cell phone to detect fluorescent products of DNA sequencing reactions in cells and tissues, according to a study published January 16th in Nature Communications. The mobile microscope can detect a point mutation in the KRAS gene that occurs in more than 30 percent of colon cancers.

BigField GEG Tech's insight:
In this study, the authors combines intravital microscopy, microscopic X-ray computed tomography and three-dimensional electron microscopy to captured single tumor cells in the vasculature of the cerebral cortex and in subcutaneous tumors, providing unique insights into metastatic events. The versatility of this workflow allows envisioning broad applications in various fields of biological research such as cancer or developmental biology.

A new device from University of Texas at Austin scientists, called the MasSpec Pen, may make it easier for surgeons to remove cancer tumors
BigField GEG Tech's insight:
When it comes to treating cancer, surgeons want to get rid of as much cancerous tissue as possible during tumor removal. Now a new technology—the size of a pen—is attempting to make that easier by distinguishing between tumors and healthy tissue in just 10 seconds.

BigField GEG Tech's insight:
Dogs may be able to sniff out malaria through their acute sense of smell, thereby saving thousands of lives through quick and non-invasive detection, scientists have claimed. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded a grant to commission research into the possibility to scientists at Durham University, Medical Detection Dogs and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, along with counterparts in Gambia.

Prostate cancer contains nerve cells that are linked to disease progression, but their source was unknown. A mouse study reveals that cells from the brain invade prostate tumours and give rise to this nerve-cell population.
