New method uses exosome stiffness for lung cancer gene detection
Sanatate
DGIST Jul 30 2025 The research team led by Senior Researchers Yoonhee Lee from the Division of Biomedical Technology and Gyogwon Koo from the Division of Intelligent Robot at DGIST (under President Kunwoo Lee) has developed a technology that distinguishes lung cancer gene mutations solely by measuring the "stiffness" of exosomes-tiny particles released from cancer cells in the bloodstream-using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Their study enables rapid and precise analysis of individual exosomes
