Technique Introducing Nanosensors to Living Cells Could Reduce Need for Animal Research

Animal research continues to be a controversial topic in medical research. In Germany alone, about 2.79 million animals were used for scientific research in 2009, according to a Fraunhofer press release. A new technique developed at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Modular Solid State Technologies EMFT in Munich could help reduce the number of animal experiments. The technique uses nanosensors to detect cell damage on patches of human skin, according to the press release.
