New technique to diagnose cancer metastasis uses origami nanoprobes

Johns Hopkins engineers have created a new optical tool that could improve cancer imaging. Their approach, called SPECTRA, uses tiny nanoprobes that light up when they attach to aggressive cancer cells, helping clinicians distinguish between localized cancers and those that are metastatic and have the potential to spread throughout the body. Johns Hopkins engineers have created a new optical tool that could improve cancer imaging.
