Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in western countries. The prognosis for patients with lung cancer depends primarily on the stage of the tumor at the time of clinical diagnosis. New understanding of tumor biology has turned attention away from detection of clinical lung canc

## Abstract The development of a fully automated microsystem housing an amperometric immunosensor is presented. The microfluidic cell integrates reagent storage and electrochemical immunodetection and was applied for the detection of breast cancer markers. The main advantage of this system is that
Oncogenes are formed in human tumors as a result of mutations or DNA rearrangements leading to the abnormal expression or function of proto-oncogenes. Approximately 20 different oncogenes are reproducibly activated in malignancies of several types, including breast, colon, lung, pancreatic, and thyr
## Abstract The detection of explosives and their associated compounds for security screening is an active area of research and a wide variety of detection methods are involved in this very challenging area. Surfaceβenhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is one of the most sensitive tools fo
