"Rapid Saliva Test for Breast Cancer Detection in 5 Seconds Developed by US and Taiwan Scientists"

Scientists from the University of Florida and the National Yang-Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan have developed a portable biosensor that can detect breast cancer biomarkers from a small saliva sample, potentially revolutionizing breast cancer screening. The biosensor uses paper test strips treated with antibodies and an Arduino platform to provide quick, inexpensive, and accurate test results, with the ability to detect even minute concentrations of cancer biomarkers. This breakthrough could offer a more accessible and efficient alternative to traditional screening methods like mammograms and MRIs.
