Bioluminescent proteins made from scratch enable non-invasive, multi-functional biological imaging

Bioluminescence is the pure chemical course of of sunshine creation in some residing creatures that makes fireflies flicker and a few jellyfish glow. Scientists have lengthy been serious about borrowing the secrets and techniques of those animals’ light-producing genes to create related results in vertebrates, for quite a lot of biomedical functions.

Team develops non-invasive biosensor for early kidney disease detection

Researchers developed a biosensor that uses affinity peptides to detect symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), an early marker of kidney problems. The sensor measures SDMA levels in urine with high accuracy, making it a practical and cost-effective tool for early diagnosis and monitoring.
