Nanotechnologies: Emerging Nanotechnologies for Liquid Biopsy: The Detection of Circulating Tumor Cells and Extracellular Vesicles (Adv. Mater. 45/2019)

Abstract

In article number 1805344, Ling Zhu, Chen Wang, Yanlian Yang, and co‐workers summarize recent progress in nanomaterials, nanostructures, nanodevices, and nanosensors for liquid biopsy, with a focus on the detection and molecular characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs). The applications of these nanotechnology‐based liquid biopsies will bring new insight into clinical practice in the early diagnosis, real‐time monitoring, and prognosis evaluation of diseases including cancer.
