New Device Detects Heart Disease Using Less Than One Drop Of Blood
Testing people for
heart disease might be just a finger prick away thanks to a new credit
card-sized device created by a team of researchers from Harvard and
Northeastern universities in Boston. In a research report published
online in The FASEB Journal, they describe how this device can measure
and collect a type of cells needed to build vascular tissue, called
endothelial progenitor cells, using only 200 microliters of blood. Full article available here.
