Impedance measurement of live biological cells is widely accepted as a label free, non-
invasive and quantitative analytical method to assess cell status. This method is easy-to-use …

Rare cells are low-abundance cells in a much larger population of background cells.
Conventional benchtop techniques have limited capabilities to isolate and analyze rare cells …

Biophysical (mechanical and electrical) properties of living cells have been proven to play
important roles in the regulation of various biological activities at the molecular and cellular …

Iontronics is an emerging technology based on sophisticated control of ions as signal
carriers that bridges solid-state electronics and biological system. It is found in nature, eg …

Abstract Models of biological barriers are important to study physiological functions,
transport mechanisms, drug delivery and pathologies. However, there are only a few …

Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are shed from primary or secondary tumors into blood
circulation. Accessing and analyzing these cells provides a non-invasive alternative to tissue …

The study of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) has been made possible by many technological
advances in their isolation. Their isolation has seen many fronts, but each technology brings …

Microfluidic chip is not a chip in the traditional sense. It is technologies that control fluids at
the micro level. As a burgeoning biochip, microfluidic chips integrate multiple disciplines …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the potential precursors of metastatic disease. Most
assays established for the enumeration of CTCs so far–including the gold standard …

The isolation of specific and sensitive circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is significant for
applying them in cancer diagnosis and monitoring. In this work, dual aptamer-modified poly …
