Opportunities in Melanoma Diagnosis Using Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Biosensors

Image
In a recent study published in Journal of Physical Chemistry C , researchers demonstrate an approach to detect tyrosinase activity (TYR), an important biomarker for melanoma diagnosis, with the help of an unprecedented surface-enhanced Raman scattering biosensor. Study: Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Biosensor Based on Self-Assembled Gold Nanorod Array for Fast and Sensitive Tyrosinase Detection . Image Credit: Africa Studio/Shutterstock.com The surface-enhanced Raman scattering biosensor, fabricated on a glass chip, was developed on an array of dopamine-operated Au nanorods (Au NR) that function as capture substrates and 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) altered silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). ) formed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering biosensor probe. Since detecting TYR activity in biological samples is essential for clinical melanoma diagnosis, the proposed approach with various advantages of sensitivity, portability, and reproducibility could be useful for melanoma d

With no history of cancer in her family, Ms Bishop sought the advice of someone with life experience with the disease to calm her fears. “For me, it was the unknown, it was very scary,” Bishop said. Shelley Bishop received words of support from Delta Goodrem. ( Provided: Shelley Bishop ) “I panicked for the first few weeks when I was diagnosed. I panicked. “Delta is basically just saying: ‘This is really scary, but there’s nothing you can’t afford. You just have to take one small step every day to get stronger and listen to your body. Take your time and rest when you need to. Don’t try and push yourself too hard.’ “He literally based the whole experience on me. I have no doubt that he was put in my path for a reason.” Bishop and the pop star were texting ahead of Goodrem’s current tour of the US, with
