Early breast cancer screening using iron/iron oxide-based nanoplatforms with sub-femtomolar limits of detection

Early breast cancer screening using iron/iron oxide-based nanoplatforms with sub-femtomolar limits of detection

Proteases, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue serine proteases, and cathepsins (CTS) exhibit numerous functions in tumor biology. Solid tumors are characterized by changes in protease expression levels by tumor and surrounding tissue. Therefore, monitoring protease levels in tissue s...
