| Abstract | Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are important markers of metastatic cancer. The isolation and detection of CTCs from peripheral blood provides valuable information for cancer diagnosis and precision medicine. However, cost-efficient targeted separation of CTCs of different origins with clinically significant specificity and efficiency remains a major challenge. In this study, a facile approach was developed to fabricate a thin sheet of hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized PLGA nanofibrous membrane and integrate it into a microfluidic chamber. The HA was covalently conjugated onto polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified electrospun poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers. Different techniques were employed to characterize the resulted nanofibers. The results show that the CD44+ carcinoma of various origins (HeLa, KB, A549, and MCF-7 cells) could be selectively captured by the PLGA-PEI–HA nanofibers in the microfluidic platform. Importantly, the PLGA-PEI–HA nanofibrous membrane was more efficient to capture HeLa cancer cells under flowing conditions than in static dishes, and at a really low density (20 cells per mL). Furthermore, with constant media perfusion, the captured HeLa cells could grow on the nanofibrous membrane in the microchip for days without compromised cell viability. This is the first trial of using HA-functionalized electrospun nanofibers in a lab-chip device for cancer cell capture and culture. Compared to conventional CTC capture methods, the integration of inexpensive functional electrospun nanofibers and microfluidic technologies may expand the frontiers of using advanced nanomaterials in portable diagnostic applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
