| − | <br /> | + | <br />Using nanotechnology, UCF researchers have developed the first rapid detector for dopamine, a chemical that is believed to play a role in various diseases such as Parkinson’s, depression and some cancers. |
| − | + | Studies show too much dopamine could be associated with some cancers, while low dopamine could be associated with Parkinson’s disease and depression. The new technique developed at UCF requires only a few drops of blood, and results are available in minutes instead of hours because no separate lab is necessary to process the sample. | |
| − | + | The new technology was described in a recent study in the journal Nano Letters. <small>([https://today.ucf.edu/ucf-researchers-developing-sensor-detect-brain-disorders-seconds/ More])</small> | |
