Novel Biosensor Based on Parylene Cantilevers

A Wayne State University researcher has developed a novel biosensor for DNA and protein microarray applications as well as lab-on-a-chip assays. The biosensor is composed of a micro-scale cantilever made of a polymer material with a modulus of elasticity significantly less than cantilever-based biosensors utilizing silicon nitride. Biosensors base...

Antibodies to a Novel Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Regulatory Protein (CARP) -1

Wayne State University researchers have identified a novel cDNA which encodes a pro-apoptotic protein called CARP-1 (Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Regulatory Protein-1), which is expressed in many cancer cell types including breast and colon carcinoma cells. This novel cDNA can be used as a diagnostic and prognostic tool for many types of cancer. Bac...
