摘要:
A method of detecting a cancer stem cell or circulating tumor cell that has undergone epithelial-mesenchymal transition, comprising determining the level of caveolin-1 expressed by a sample cell, and comparing the level of caveolin-1 expressed by the sample cell to a control, wherein higher expression of caveolin-1 by the sample cell indicates that the sample cell is a cancer cell, as well as a method of detecting cancer or metastasis in a subject, and related methods and compositions.

A metal nanowire including gold nanoclusters on the surface thereof for binding a target material and a method of binding the target material to the metal nanowire are provided.
摘要:
A hydrodynamic filter unit includes an inlet channel connected to a fluid chamber, into which a fluid including a target material is introduced, and a plurality of outlet channels connected to the fluid chamber, through which the fluid is discharged. A filtering method includes introducing a fluid including a target material into the hydrodynamic filter unit through the inlet channel, capturing the target material in the hydrodynamic filter unit, and discharging a remaining part of the fluid outside of the hydrodynamic filter unit through an outlet channel.
摘要:
A cell separation device includes a channel or chamber in which a sample flows or moves, the sample including target cells marked with magnetic particles, and non-target cells, and a magnet which generates a magnetic first force in a first direction with respect to the sample within the channel or chamber. The channel or chamber of the cell separation device is applied with a second force in a second direction opposite to the first direction of the magnetic force. According to the cell separation device and a method of separating cells, the target cells move in the first direction by the magnetic force, and the non-target cells move in the second direction by the second force, by simultaneously applying the magnetic force and the second force in opposing directions, thereby separating the target cells from the non-target cells.

A device separating target particles in a fluid sample includes first through third multi-orifice flow fractionation (“MOFF”) channels, each including a multi-orifice segment with an inlet and an outlet at opposite ends, and an alternating series of contraction channels and expansion chambers interconnected in a lengthwise direction; a first separation unit including a first separation channel which is interconnected in fluid communication with a center region of the outlet of the first MOFF channel, and first branch channels which are interconnected in fluid communication with sidewall regions of the outlet of the first MOFF channel, and respectively with inlets of the second and third MOFF channels; and buffer inlets which are connected to the inlets of the second and third MOFF channels and through which a buffer flows into the second and third MOFF channels.
摘要:
A device for differentiating a target cell includes a cantilever including a fixed end and a free end, where the cantilever is elastically deformable, a tip disposed on the free end of the cantilever, where the tip contacts a surface of a cell, a measurement unit connected to the fixed end of the cantilever, where the measurement unit measures a degree of a repulsive force based on an elastic deformation of the cantilever, and a conversion unit which converts the repulsive force measured by the measurement unit into a modulus of elasticity derived from the surface of the cell.
