ARTIDIS (Automated and Reliable Tissue Diagnostics)

Abstract (Deutsch)

Conventional tissue diagnostics (TD) is often limited to qualitative sample analysis. The long waiting times also cause a patient anxiety and distress. Here, a new quantitative TD method based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) technology significantly improves TD accuracy while reducing the waiting time from days to hours. We propose to develop an easy-to-use TD tool (¿ARTIDIS¿) with applications ranging from basic drug development to clinical TD for soft tissues such as breast cancer biopsies and ostheoarthritic (OA) cartilage.
