MIT has developed a new technology which, it is suggested, could make it easier to diagnose lung cancer. PATROL, a point-of-care aerosolizable nanosensor with tumor-responsive oligonucleotide barcodes, works by having patients inhale DNA-barcoded nanosensors, they then take a urine test to detect synthetic DNA reporter molecules which indicate the presence of specific lung cancer-related proteins.
