| Abstract | Personalized cancer therapies drive the need for devices that rapidly and accurately segregate cancer cells from solid tumors. One potential sorting strategy is to segregate populations of cells based on their relative strength of adhesion. To investigate the effect of surface hydrophilicity and cell phenotype on adhesion, primary human breast skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes and MCF-7 breast cancer cells were seeded onto air and CF4 plasma-treated nanofibers followed by exposure to three shear stresses (200, 275 and 350 dynes per cm2) 1 hour after inoculation. No difference in strength of adhesion was measured in either fibroblasts or keratinocytes on either plasma treated-surface: all exhibited >60% of the initial cell count after a 5 minute exposure to 350 dynes per cm2 of shear stress. In contrast, a significant difference between relative strength of adhesion on air versus CF4 plasma-treated surfaces was observed for MCF-7 cells: 26% and 6.6% of cells remained on the air and CF4 plasma-treated surfaces, respectively. The ability to sort this cancer cell line from two non-cancerous primary human cells was evaluated by inoculating a mixture of all three cell types simultaneously onto CF4 treated nanofibers followed by 1 hour of culture and exposure to 350 dynes per cm2 shear stress. The majority of MCF-7 cells were removed (0.7% remained) while a majority of fibroblasts and keratinocytes remained adhered (74 and 57%). Post-sorted MCF-7 viability and morphology remained unchanged, preserving the possibility of post-separation and analysis. These data suggest that the plasma treatment of electrospun scaffolds provides a tool useful in sorting cancer cells from a mixed cell population based on adhesion strength. |

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.
