A Single Drop of Blood Can Reveal Stress Hormones in The Body With Quick New Test

A Single Drop of Blood Can Reveal Stress Hormones in The Body With Quick New Test 2 JULY 2021 Scientists are constantly looking for ways of diagnosing what s going on in the body as quickly and as safely as possible – it means problems can be spotted earlier and managed more effectively.   Case in point: a new microchip developed by researchers that can assess stress hormone levels in the body from a single drop of blood. Developed with the same processes used to make computer chips, it s much cheaper and more straightforward than the complex lab tests that it has the potential to replace.

New Microchip Sensor Measures Stress Hormones from Drop of Blood

Print A Rutgers-led team of researchers has developed a microchip that can measure stress hormones in real time from a drop of blood. The study appears in the journal Science Advances. Cortisol and other stress hormones regulate many aspects of our physical and mental health, including sleep quality. High levels of cortisol can result in poor sleep, which increases stress that can contribute to panic attacks, heart attacks and other ailments. Currently, measuring cortisol takes costly and cumbersome laboratory setups, so the Rutgers-led team looked for a way to monitor its natural fluctuations in daily life and provide patients with feedback that allows them to receive the right treatment at the right time.
