Heterogeneity Landscape of Circulating Tumor Cells in Clinical Utility

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This study reports the heterogeneity spectrum of circulating tumor cells. The factors involved in the spectrum promote CTCs to overcome barriers in the metastatic cascade but impact the clinical outcome of cancer patients. In summary, the heterogeneities in association with CTCs ultimately reduce patient survival and facilitate increasing mortality of ...

Connexins in lymphatic vessel physiology and disease

FEBS Letters, 2014
Connexins are transmembrane proteins that form gap junction‐ and hemi‐channels. Once inserted into the membrane, hemi‐channels (connexons) allow for diffusion of ions and small molecules (<1 kDa) between the extracellular space and the cytosol. Gap junction channels allow diffusion of similar molecules between the cytoplasms of adjacent cells.

Physics of Selective Targeting of Cancer Cells by Magnetoelectric Nanoparticles: Exploring the Role of Conductivity and Capacitance in Tumor‐Specific Attraction

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
Magnetoelectric nanoparticles exploit cancer cells' electrical vulnerabilities—altered membrane charge and higher capacitance—to achieve tumor‐specific targeting without bioreagents. MATLAB simulations reveal how electromagnetic forces create targeting specificity, while external magnetic fields enhance precision. This may enable wirelessly controlled,
