Advance in terahertz and DNA methylation in medicine
Terahertz technology has been widely used in the fields of bio-oncology medical detection,electronic communication,and materials research and development.Terahertz waves have characteristics of low ionisation,non-invasiveness and characteristic spectrum(fingerprint pattern)and provide a new technical means for the detection of spatial conformation and interaction of biomacromolecules.In recent years,with the gradual use of nano-developed particles in terahertz detection,the detection of various types of burns,tumors and other diseases tends to be more accurate;especially in recent years,the methylation technology modifies the DNA in order to achieve the expectation of cancer treatment.This paper elaborates application and outlook of the current domestic and international terahertz technology in burns and tumor detection,methylation technology modification and other aspects.
