The following report is by The Trends Journal:
However, the tests can be cumbersome and time-consuming: usually, the target gene has to be replicated into a batch big enough to show a detectable signal. That’s expensive and takes time.
To avoid all that, researchers at Stanford University created a method that sets up rows of silicon squares measuring a few hundred nanometers on a side. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.
The group affixed strands of assorted DNA to the tops of the blocks, immersed the array in a neutral solution, then laid a different probe atop each block. The probes grabbed onto their respective targets when the target strands of DNA passed by.
The connection shifted the light frequency emitted by each target strand, allowing the microscope to “see” the shift and affirm the presence of a particular kind of tissue.
Importantly, the method can reveal the amount of target DNA the probes find, giving doctors a clue about how much of the offender is present in the body.
In theory, an array of the nanoboxes could scan for more than 10,000 separate conditions within a few minutes, once they’re seeded with the right markers, the developers said.
In addition, the tiny squares could have uses outside of medicine, such as detecting the presence of specific strains of algae in polluted waters.
The developers have organized a for-profit company to commercialize their discovery.
TRENDPOST: Because the nanoboxes can do their detecting outside the body, clinical trials aren’t needed to bring the method into clinical or other scientific uses, which should happen within four years.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
I’m good, I’ll pass. We’ve seen what the medical establishment has become. Instead of blaming most sicknesses on nutritional deficiencies, poor sleep, lack of exercise, lack of sunlight, eating toxic food and drinking tainted water, and EMF poisoning. More vain devices from man.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
