NEW YORK (360Dx) – A team of researchers at the University of Utah is developing a point-of-care platform using alpha-fetoprotein, a biomarker already in use in laboratory tests, to detect liver cancer. They have built a proof-of-concept system made possible by a nanoplasmonic coating that amplifies its signal and enhances its level of detection, the researchers said.
