Huge implications in VHF and other high risk clinical settings...certainly something to follow
Potentially super cool future technology - working prototype of wearable sensor for direct detection of nucleic acids (for e.g. infectious disease diagnostics). If this works = WOW! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0039914019306563 …pic.twitter.com/6a5haX7zTc

Exactly my thinking! E.g. contact tracing, high risk exposures, follow ups, etc. I’m pretty convinced we’ll see this type of technology deployed within a decade.

Cool concept! Presumably, they are stuck to human skin so that RPA can amplify at 36-37C range? Not trying to detect DNA molecules present in skin of patient?

Yup - the device is ‘activated’ by body temperature, which is super cool. The delivery to the device presumably still needs to be figured out - e.g., micro needle + some extraction via microfluidics?

Do you have a copy of the paper by any chance? Seems to be pretty strongly paywalled :(

sci-hub is your friend - just plug in the doi
(shoot me an email if you still can’t get it - I have a copy on my computer).

So, we happen to have a lot of viral free-RNA of otherwise encapsidated viruses around that happen to hybridise with a very specific target region?! - Intriguing might be a bit muchBedankt, Twitter gebruikt dit om je tijdlijn te verbeteren. Ongedaan makenOngedaan maken
