Passive and label-free microfluidic devices have no complex external accessories or
detection-interfering label particles. These devices are now widely used in medical and …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been widely considered as promising novel biomarkers
for molecular research and clinical diagnosis of cancer. However, the sorting of CTCs is very …

Age-related changes in aortic biomechanics can impact the brain by reducing blood flow
and increasing pulsatile energy transmission. Clinical studies have shown that impaired …

Separation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood samples and subsequent DNA
extraction from these cells play a crucial role in cancer research and drug discovery …

Metastasis is the main cause of cancer‑related death and the major challenge in cancer
treatment. Cancer cells in circulation are termed circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Primary …

Improved sample preparation has the potential to address unmet needs for fast turnaround
sepsis tests. In this work, we report elasto‐inertial based rapid bacteria separation from …

The treatment of cancers is a significant challenge in the healthcare context today.
Spreading circulating tumor cells (CTCs) throughout the body will eventually lead to cancer …

The separation of cancer cells from a heterogeneous biological sample such as blood plays
a vital role in cancer study and future treatments. In this paper, we designed and …

This study investigates the physics of the longitudinal stretching-based wave pumping
mechanism, a novel extension of the traditional impedance pump. In its simplest form, an …
