Terbium’s Green Glow: A Novel, Simple Sensor for Detecting Liver Cancer

A groundbreaking luminescent sensor designed for detecting the liver cancer biomarker β-glucuronidase has emerged from the laboratories of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). This innovative system utilizes a terbium-based paper sensor that offers an unprecedented combination of sensitivity, simplicity, and accessibility. The research team’s novel approach not only promises to transform early cancer diagnostics […]

IISc Bangalore researchers develop low-cost, easy-to-use sensor for liver cancer detection

New Delhi: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a simple sensor that is cost-effective and can enable faster detection of liver cancer.  The team focussed on the potential of terbium -- a rare earth metal -- to develop a unique luminescent probe that can sense the presence of an enzyme called beta-glucuronidase. While its core function is to break down a sugar acid called glucuronic acid, the enzyme also doubles a…
