New strategy for in situ detection of multiple miRNAs in single circulating tumor cells

A research team led by Prof. Chen Yan from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and their collaborators developed a novel digital droplet microfluidic flow cytometry technique, called Nano-DMFC, for in-situ analysis of multiple miRNAs in single circulating tumor cells (CTCs).
