Microfluidic Isolation of Circulating Tumor Cell Clusters by Size and Asymmetry
Abstract Circulating tumor cell clusters (CTC clusters) are potent initiators of metastasis and potentially useful clinical markers for patients with cancer. Although there are numerous devices developed to isolate individual circulating tumor cells from blood, these devices are ineffective at captu...
