Description
Summary:Antibody‐functionalized microengine rockets can selectively capture and transport pancreatic cancer cells in complex biological media. In their Communication on page 4161 ff., Zhang, Wang, and co‐workers report that these microrockets recognize individual cancer cells from a cell mixture with high selectivity. This strategy holds promise for the design of bioanalytical protocols and microchip devices for early‐stage tumor cell detection.
