Biosensing breast cancer.
Researchers at Universitat Politècnica de Valencia have developed a new biosensor device that can help detect breast cancer at its earliest stages. They use a liquid biopsy approach to rapidly, cheaply, and accurately analyse breast cancer biomarkers in blood samples.
Their work has been published in ACS Sensors: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acssensors.0c02222

Nanoporous Anodic Alumina-Based Sensor for miR-99a-5p Detection as an Effective Early Breast Cancer Diagnostic Tool
Circulating microRNAs have emerged as potential diagnostic biomarkers. The deregulation of the microRNA miR-99a-5p has been previously described as an effective biomarker of early breast cancer. Herein, we present a new nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA)-based…
Synthesising cancer treatments.
Rice University chemists have developed a simplified method for the facile synthesis of halichondrin B and related compounds. This important molecule has potent anti-tumour properties of great interest to medical research.
Their insights are published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.1c05270

A Reverse Approach to the Total Synthesis of Halichondrin B
A new strategy is described for the total synthesis of halichondrin B featuring reversal of the sequential construction of a number of its cyclic ethers from the classical approach by instead forming C–O bonds first followed by C–C bond formation. Employing…
Cancer testing from blood.
A microfilter device that can easily separate and capture trace amounts of cancer cells in blood has been developed by a Kumamoto University research group. The palm-sized device is being used to develop new cancer diagnostic technologies, detecting even at concentrations of just 5 cancer cells per millilitre.
The research is reported in Talanta:

Detection of cancer cells in whole blood using a dynamic deformable microfilter and a nucleic acid aptamer
Cancer cell count in the blood of cancer patients is extremely low. If these cells are easily detectable, cancer diagnosis may be possible by simply u…
