In this video of Lauren’s experiment, you can see platelets (green) closely interacting with colorectal #cancer cells (red), ‘sampling’ their biomolecules🩸 Lauren is trying to understand what these biomolecules are and why this is happening

By understanding what biomolecules are being released by cancer cells, then platelets might make for great biomarkers for the #EarlyDetection of cancer, accessible through easy blood tests🔎 Thanks to funders Cancer Research UK and great collaborators. Results expected later this year!
