Abstract:
A CTCs detection assay using transparent MnO2 nanospheres thin films to capture and release of CTCs is reported. The enhanced local topography interaction between extracellular matrix scaffolds and the antibody-coated substrate leads to improved capture efficiency. CTCs captured from artificial blood sample can be cultured and released, represent a new functional material capable of CTCs isolation and culture for subsequent studies.
