Liquid crystal-based optical platform for the detection of colon and breast cancer cell lines using folic acid-conjugated gold nanoparticles
A liquid crystal biosensor with folic acid–gold nanoparticles (FA@GNPs) enables ultrasensitive, label-free detection of colon and breast cancer cells. Cell binding disturbs LC alignment, creating an optical signal for simple early diagnosis.
