To ensure the safety of insect farms and their products, Fraunhofer researchers have developed a system that reliably detects pathogens right away, at low cost and with the possibility of automation.

A new method using glycan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (gMNPs) is poised to change the way we detect foodborne pathogens like Escherichia coli and Salmonella in complex food matrices such as melons, ...

The system's design is also highly adaptable ... the power of synthetic biology to create flexible tools for pathogen detection," Yigit said. "By collaborating with experts in nanotechnology ...

It looks like an inhaler for treating asthma, but it could help biodefense experts sleep easier at night. BioSim, from Kansas City, Mo.-based Sceptor Industries http ...

Karius has addressed these hurdles to develop a commercial test that allows rapid, accurate detection of more than 1,000 pathogens from a standard blood draw. The Karius Test has broad ...

Backed by the European Innovation Council and driven by a 2030 vision of same-day diagnostics for all infectious diseases, Inbiome is advancing a future where rapid, precise pathogen detection curbs ...

The system also allows clinicians to specify which pathogens to look for using the test. For example, they might use a targeted test in the winter months to find out if a typically healthy adult ...

PCR systems are expensive ... as well as in the detection of drug-resistant pathogens. Collectively, we hope to create a world free from all diseases through the increased availability of early ...

"What we're showing is that the social immune system of ants can store information about previous infections with the same pathogen, a phenomenon seen in our immune cells, but which occurs at a ...
