Article Synopsis
  • * Detecting CTCs is difficult due to their low numbers in the blood, but UCLA's research team developed "NanoVelcro" technology to efficiently capture these cells using specialized substrates.
  • * Four generations of NanoVelcro Chips have been created over the years, improving the isolation, purification, and viability of CTCs for further analysis of cancer biomarkers.
