Photonic-Plasmonic Microcavity Can Detect Proteins at Unprecedentedly Low Concentrations

Measuring proteins in real-time down to fM solution concentration
levels, corresponding to only a few thousand of protein molecules, has
been demonstrated for the first time using a hybrid photonic-plasmonic
Whispering Gallery Mode biosensor. Its unprecedented sensitivity is due
to optical trapping of proteins at highly sensitive plasmonic hotspots.

Radioactively Labeled Nanobody Helps Visualize Macrophages in Tumors

Researchers have developed a novel technique for reducing the radiation dosage to destroy cancerous cells. Radiotherapy is a standard treatment for cancer. Radiotherapists apply varied doses depending on the severity of the tumor. Often, they have to apply very high doses to the whole tumor for effective treatment. This may cause side effects in the patients.
