Popis: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are indicative for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. However, conventional immuno-magnetic cell capture technologies using antibody- and aptamer-functionalized magnetic particles generate increased intracellular oxidative stress through endocytosis. Herein, we efficiently, selectively, and non-invasively isolate CTCs from whole blood by mimicking double-sided tape using DNA.
