Summary

This research develops a nanoparticle-based diagnostic test for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a rare and deadly blood disorder. By enabling fast, affordable detection of the ADAMTS13 enzyme, the system could allow earlier diagnosis, timely treatment, and improved survival while inspiring new approaches to rare disease diagnostics.
