Fluorescent Molecular Sensor to Detect Metastatic Cancer Cells

"Although there are many ways to detect metastasis once it has occurred, there has been nothing available to 'see' or 'measure' the potential of a tumor cell to metastasize in the future," said Pradipta Ghosh, MD, UC San Diego School of Medicine professor and director of the university's Center for Network Medicine and senior author of a new study appearing in journal iScience. The new sensors are able to detect multiple different signaling mechanisms that are related to metastasis, and wh...
