Researchers in Australia have developed a nanosensor with 95% accuracy to detect the onset of gestational diabetes in early pregnancy.
The nanosensor uses superparamagnetic 'nanoflower' technology to isolate and detect biomarkers associated with complications in early pregnancy.
The sensor can detect protein molecules carried by extracellular vesicles (EVs), enabling the identification of potential complications such as preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia.
The development of this nanosensor has the potential to revolutionize risk assessment and improve clinical decision-making in obstetric care.
