Use of synthetic antibodies and a finger prick sample of blood could give clinical laboratories new tool to screen for breast cancer A simple clinical pathology laboratory blood test for early detection of breast cancer may be just around the corner. At the University of Arkansas (UA), researchers are building a library of synthetic antibodies called affitoids that can be used to detect breast cancer in its earliest stage. Researchers believe they are closing in on the creation of an assay...
