A novel laser-based technique can analyze human saliva and non-invasively diagnose immune system disorders even before the symptoms appear, increasing the chances of recovery, scientists say.Disorders of the immune system lead to various diseases from allergy and type I diabetes to more dangerous autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. However, such diseases are diagnosed only when the symptoms are clearly demonstrated. Researchers of St Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) in Russia developed a unique method of immune diseases diagnosing before the symptoms appear.They proposed a laser-correlation spectroscopic technique (also called dynamic light scattering) for studying the immune response in body fluids, for example, in saliva.
“We offer a cheap and effective method of diagnosing the diseases without any indication. We need a laser, a receiver and a programme for data…
