Electrochemical Genosensing of Overexpressed GAPDH Transcripts in Breast Cancer Exosomes Arnau Pallares-Rusiñol, Silio Lima Moura, Mercè Martí, and Maria Isabel Pividori* https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.analchem.2c04773 Exosomes are receiving highlighted attention as new biomarkers for the detection of cancer since they are profusely released by tumor cells in different biological fluids. In this paper, the exosomes are preconcentrated from the serum by immunomagnetic Read More

The proposal ’ExoSens-PoC: Enhancing tests for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease‘ been granted by MICINN (Proyectos de «Prueba de Concepto» 2022 Call). ExoSens-PoC proposal addresses the development of a Proof-of-Concept/Point-of- Care (PoC) test for the early identification of individuals at risk of AD in plasma. This approach can efficiently and specifically separate exosomes from Read More
