Discrete microfluidics for the isolation of circulating tumor cell subpopulations targeting fibroblast activation protein alpha and epithelial cell adhesion molecule

Diagnostics: Dual selection improves circulating tumor cell assay Using two selection markers, instead of one, can improve the sensitivity of a blood test for circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Steven A. Soper from the University of Kansas in Lawrence, USA, and colleagues analyzed blood samples from pa...
