Nanosensors in breast cancer. Fluorescent light micrograph of a nanosensor (cyan) and a chemical with anti-cancer activity (dichloroacetic acid) after being injected into the blood vessels (red) of a mouse implanted with human breast cancer cells (green). A nanosensor is a molecule that can indicate the presence of specific chemical, nanoparticle, or physical characteristic. This image shows that the nanosensor detects the presence of dichloroacetic acid near the tumour. This image was created in 2014, as part of research carried out at Stanford University, USA.
