- 03:31Results: Representative Downstream Molecular Analysis and Metastatic Potential Assessment of Single-Cell Picked CTC
- 04:42Conclusion
Here, we present an integrated workflow to identify phenotypic and molecular features that characterize circulating tumor cells (CTCs). We combine live immunostaining and robotic micromanipulation of single and clustered CTCs with single cell-based techniques for downstream analysis and assessment of metastasis-seeding ability.
