Device could 'hear'
disease through structures housing cells
Similarly to how a picked
lock gives away that someone has broken into a building, the stiffening of a
structure surrounding cells in the human body can indicate that cancer is
invading other tissue. Researchers have built a device that uses sound waves
to detect the stiffness of an extracellular matrix, a structural network that
contains cells. Changes in the stiffness of this structure can indicate the
spread of disease. The device is a "lab-on-a-chip" connected to
a transmitter and receiver. After pouring the extracellular matrix and the
cells it contains onto the platform, the transmitter generates an ultrasonic
wave that propagates through the material and then triggers the receiver. The
output is an electrical signal indicating the stiffness of the extracellular
matrix.
