Advances in CO separation from the landscape of porous aromatic framework-based engineered membranes.

Uncontrolled carbon emission contributes significantly towards global warming and climate change necessitating an urgent and effective remedy. CO is one of the major constituents of the greenhouse gas family. The main sources that contribute to CO emission are industries, transports, etc.

A novel microchannel-based device to capture and analyze circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of breast cancer.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been shown in many studies as a possible biomarker for metastasis and may be instrumental for the spread of the disease. Despite advances in CTC capturing technologies, the low frequency of CTCs in cancer patients and the heterogeneity of the CTCs have limited the wide application of the technology in clinic. In this study, we investigated a novel microfluidic technology that uses a size- and deformability-based capture system to characterize CTCs.
