(Nanowerk News) Currently, many diseases are diagnosed from blood tests that look for one biomarker (such as a protein or other small molecule) or, at most, a couple of biomarkers of the same type.

With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a new method could transform testing for conditions including heart disease and cancer. With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a ...
