‘Labyrinth’ Chip Could Help Monitor Aggressive Cancer Stem Cells
ANN ARBOR–Inspired by the Labyrinth of Greek mythology, a new chip etched with fluid channels sends blood samples through a hydrodynamic maze to separate out rare circulating cancer cells into a relatively clean stream for analysis. It is already in use in a breast cancer clinical trial. Tumor cells isolated from blood samples have the...

First of its kind cancer stem cell research unlocks clues to treatment resistance
Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have made exciting new findings that could offer a means of fighting resistance to treatment for people with esophageal cancer. Resistance to radiotherapy is a major stumbling block in the treatment of this cancer. For the first time, the research team led by Dr Stephen Maher, Ussher Assistant Professor in...
