When cancer is detected at an early stage, the rates of survival increase drastically, but today only a few cancer types are screened for. An international study led by researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, shows that a new, previously untested method can easily find multiple types of newly formed cancers at the same time – including cancer types that are difficult to detect with comparable methods...
AMSBIO offers a wide range of small molecules to provide scientists with targeted tools to direct cell fates, making them crucial in areas including regenerative medicine and cancer research.
