Innovative Research Aims to Snatch Cancer Cells by Magnetism and Nanoparticles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The more precise diagnostic methods are, the more effective immunotherapy for cancer<\/a> can be. In a case of “opposites attract,” scientists recently took a giant step toward improved diagnostics with the principles of magnetism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Putting a “Charge” in Cancer Cells<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liquid biopsy is a cancer screening technique in which blood is drawn from a patient and tested for circulating tumor cells, or CTCs. Unfortunately, CTCs are so few and far between that the blood sample may be completely free of them, resulting in a false diagnosis.<\/p>\n

In a study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, a team of researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine tested a group of pigs with CTCs in their bloodstream.<\/p>\n

– The CTCs were first tagged with a nanoparticle<\/a> containing magnetic properties.<\/p>\n

– In the next step, a small wire was inserted near the pig’s ear in a vein that is comparable to the ones in a human arm.<\/p>\n

– As the tagged tumor cells drifted by, the magnetic pull caused them to stick to the wire, which was then removed from the vein.<\/p>\n

What’s Next?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only did the magnetic method detect 10 to 80 times more CTCs than a typical liquid biopsy<\/a>, it found 500 to 5,000 more tumor cells than an earlier wire-based model. Dr. Sanjiv Sam Gambhir of Stanford expressed hope that the wire device could have applications for cancer treatment as well as diagnosis.<\/p>\n
