Circulating Tumor Cells, or CTCs, are cancer cells that have shed from the primary tumor and enter the bloodstream, where they can travel and potentially lead to metastasis. These cells are of significant interest in oncology due to their potential to provide vital information about the ...
Cell Analysis for Brain Tumors Cell analysis, particularly at the single-cell level, provides deep insights into the cellular heterogeneity within brain tumors. ...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs): Small vesicles called EVs are expelled by cells. They contain a range of biomolecules, such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. ...
The clinical sample types generally include fresh or frozen tissue that often yield high quality DNA and samples that often yield low quantity and/or compromised quality DNA like FFPE (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded) tissue, decalcified FFPE tissue, bone marrow trephines, smears, and fine needle aspirates (FNA), plasma, and circulating tumor ...
Traditional high-throughput sequencing methods are difficult to apply to transcriptome analysis of rare circulating tumor cells, the research of the earliest differentiation characteristics of human embryogenesis, and the study of tumor non-homogeneity and microevolution. For example, it is often impossible to determine whether ...
