Wearable Microneedle Sensor Enables In Vivo Bioanalysis of Cardiac Biomarkers

Researchers developed a microneedle electrochemiluminescence device that measured cardiac troponins in interstitial fluid at 30-minute intervals and detected cTnI down to 21.3 fg/mL in artificial interstitial fluid. In 15 rats and 1 pig, researchers recorded biomarker trends broadly consistent with serum ELISA results, although the wired, single-target prototype has not been tested in humans.

Deep-Learning Holography Detects Elusive Circulating Tumor Cells in Prostate Cancer

Researchers combined microfluidic enrichment, AI-assisted holography, and fluorescence profiling to identify circulating tumor cell candidates in 13 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and 8 healthy donors. The platform found higher median candidate counts in patients, while nearly two-thirds of PSMA-positive candidates lacked EpCAM, suggesting EpCAM-dependent assays could miss some cells.

AI-Assisted Paper Test Measures Three Cardiac Biomarkers in 23 Minutes

Researchers developed an AI-assisted dual-mode paper assay that measures cTnI, CK-MB, and NT-proBNP from 50 µL of serum in 23 minutes. In single-site analytical validation, neural networks quantified the three biomarkers across distinct concentration ranges, supporting further development for multiplexed cardiac testing at the point of care.
