Protein sensors detect proteins linked to diseases.
Aptamers act as the recognition part of the sensor.
Detection is converted into an immediate electronic readout.
Earlier detection can shorten the time needed to respond to medical emergencies.
These sensors use specially designed molecules called aptamers that bind tightly to the target proteins.
When a protein is detected, the sensor creates a fast electronic signal.
The rapid signal can alert medical teams much sooner during an emergency.
