Innovative biosensor for the early detection of kidney disease

Caption

Researchers developed a biosensor that uses affinity peptides to detect symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), an early marker of kidney problems. The sensor measures SDMA levels in urine with high accuracy, making it a practical and cost-effective tool for early diagnosis and monitoring.
