A new nanosensor that can identify cancer drug mechanisms in a matter of just minutes has been unveiled by a team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the US. Determining such mechanisms is usually laborious and can take weeks or even months using conventional assays. The new technique will allow for rapid screening of therapeutics and drug “cocktails”, and perhaps even be used to identify potential environmental hazards quickly and safely……
