Abstract Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, cancer continues to be most devastating disease worldwide. Liquid biopsy of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) has recently become a painless and noninvasive tool for obtaining carcinoma cell samples molecular profiling. Here, we report efficient detection collection in blood by combining stem antigen (CD44)-specific immunosilica particles immunofluorescent quan...

Cell counting of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid is performed manually in routine practice. This has both methodological and inherent errors; however, the accuracy and suitability of automated counting devices have been questioned. In this study, a Coulter Counter D Industrial model was calibrated and then used to measure the total cell count in unprocessed bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and ...
