  3. "Smart particles" can harvest and detect tiny concentrations of particles, like human growth hormones in urine.
  4. Albumin makes up most of our blood, it acts like a molecular mop & soaks up biomarkers for cancer, making them very hard to find.
  5. Join us this evening for a Cafe Scientifique on using personalized medicine to treat cancer. http://bit.ly/5xe2GJ See you at 6 pm.
