Label-free fiber-optic spherical tip biosensor to enable picomolar-level detection of CD44 protein

Abstract Increased level of CD44 protein in serum is observed in several cancers and is associated with tumor burden and metastasis. Current clinically used detection methods of this protein are time-consuming and use labeled reagents for analysis. Therefore exploring new label-free and fast methods...
