Abstract:Urological cancers such as bladder or prostate cancer represent one of the most malignant tumors that accounts for an extremely high mortality. However, conventionally standard diagnostics for urological cancers are hardly available in low-resource settings. We developed herein a hand-held fluorescent imaging platform by integrating a multiplexed isothermal exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) with a microgel-enriched methodology for sensitive profiling of quaternary microRNAs (miRNAs) in urine and quick… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
