Biomarkers in the blood of cancer patients include circulating tumor cells (CTCs), tumor-educated platelets (TEPs), tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (tdEVs), EV-associated miRNA (EV-miRNA), and circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA). Because the size and density of biomarkers differ, blood is centrifuged to isolate ...

Here, University of Amsterdam researchers present a new method, named flow cytometry scatter ratio (Flow-SR), to relate the ambiguous light scattering signals of flow cytometry to the diameter and refractive index (RI) of single nanoparticles between...

All body fluids contain cell-derived membrane-enclosed vesicles. Such vesicles are shed by prokaryotes and eukaryotic cells and contain messages to the environment. Cell-derived vesicles are thought to contribute to homeostasis, disease development, and progression, may provide novel biomarkers, and may ...
