Abstract:Introduction: Extracellular vesicles (EV), recovered from a liquid biopsy, are emerging as a putative diagnostic test for cancer. To date, ultracentrifugation has been accepted as the gold standard for EV isolation despite its lengthy processing time and low recovery rate. Thanks to the recent technological advances in microfluidics, several microfluidic devices for EV isolation have been developed and are showing promise with respect to improved recovery rates, the ability to extract EVs from small sample vol… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
