3D-Printed Cell Traps Help Researchers Find Cancer Cells
Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) are working on a method that could enable rapid and low-cost separation of tumor cells circulating in the bloodstream. The researchers developed the new approach using 3D-printed cell traps, Georgia Tech's research news team reported.
According to the researchers, trapping the white blood cells – which are about the size of cancer cells – and filtering out smaller red blood cells leaves behind the tumor cells, which could then be used to diagnose the disease, potentially provide early warning of recurrence and enable research ...
