Micromachine‐Enabled Capture and Isolation of Cancer Cells in Complex Media

Abstract

Microrockets detect cancer: A micromachine is used for the in vitro isolation of pancreatic cancer cells in complex media. The strategy is based on the selective binding and transport ability of antibody-functionalized microengine rockets: these microrockets selectively recognize the surface antigens overexpressed by pancreatic cancer cells, and capture and transport the cancer cells over a preselected path (see picture).
