With the help of a new electrochemical device, doctors may be able to quickly and affordably identify patients who are most at risk for osteoporosis with as little blood as possible. Credit: Adapted from DOI: 10.1021 / acscentsci in ACS Central Science, 2023. 3c00243.
Age-related diseases like osteoporosis are having an increasing impact as life expectancy rises globally.
With the current osteoporosis diagnostic tests, early detection is not yet possible, even though it could assist doctors in intervening as soon as possible — when treatment might be of the greatest benefit. Researchers have now created a biosensor that, according to reports in ACS Central Science, could one day be used to pinpoint
