Excerpts: For example, researchers are developing diagnostic tests for cancer
and cardiovascular diseases. When a person is sick, markers -- genetic material
or proteins -- for the disease appear in body fluids. If blood or urine samples
from the sick person are mixed with a solution of synthetic nanostructures, they
can be designed to emit light in the presence of specific disease markers, Nie
explained. This kind of test would improve the accuracy of current tests --
which Nie said average about 50 percent -- dramatically.
