MIT developed inhalable nanosensors that allow for early lung cancer detection through a simple urine test rather than a costly CT scans. #Science is awesome 🧬🦾🚀🤯

Unlocking Early Detection of Lung Cancer With MIT’s Inhalable Nanosensors

The diagnostic, which requires only a simple urine test to read the results, could make lung cancer screening more accessible worldwide. Using a new technology developed at MIT, diagnosing lung cancer

Inhales sensor, sensor causes cancer, sensor “yep there’s cancer in here” j/k That’s pretty cool, actually. The inhaled particles react with cancer cells and produce a chemical signature that’s readable through a urine test, kinda like a pregnancy, glucose or drug screen.
