Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) originate from the primary tumor mass and enter into the
peripheral bloodstream. Compared to other “liquid biopsy” portfolios such as exosome …

Inertial microfluidics has become a popular topic in microfluidics research for its good
performance in particle manipulation and its advantages of simple structure, high …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are important indicators for tumor diagnosis and tumor
metastasis. However, the extremely low levels of CTCs in peripheral blood challenges the …

In this paper, we develop a low-cost size-based microfluidic chip using conventional
polycarbonate membrane to isolate CTCs from blood, and propose a strategy to increase …

Tumor metastasis is responsible for the vast majority of cancer-associated morbidities and
mortalities. Recent studies have disclosed the higher metastatic potential of circulating tumor …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the cancer cells that circulate in the peripheral blood after
escaping from the original or metastatic tumors. CTCs could be used as non-invasive source …

In this work, we report a new hydrazine-functionalized Al (III)-based metal–organic
framework having MIL-53 (MIL= Material of Institute Lavoisier) framework topology for the …

Microfluidic technologies for isolating cells of interest from a heterogeneous sample have
attracted great attentions, due to the advantages of less sample consumption, simple …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are an important biomarker for cancer prognosis and
treatment monitoring. However, the heterogeneity of the physical and biological properties of …

Isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood has long been a challenge due to the
rarity and heterogeneity of these cells. Detection technologies have predominantly focused …
