Abstract
We present a label-free microfluidic chip for the segregation of circulating leukemia cells (CLCs) from blood samples, with a focus on its clinical applications in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The microfluidic chip achieved an approximate capture efficiency of 92%. The study analyzed a comprehensive set of 66 blood specimens from AML patients in different disease stages, including newly diagnosed and relapsing cases, patients in complete remission, and those in partial remission. The results showed a significant difference in CLC counts between active disease stages and remission stages (p < 0.0001), with a proposed threshold of 5 CLCs to differentiate between the two. The microfluidic chip exhibited a sensitivity of 95.4% and specificity of 100% in predicting disease recurrence. Additionally, the captured CLCs were subjected to downstream molecular analysis using droplet digital PCR, allowing for the identification of genetic mutations associated with AML. Comparative analysis with bone marrow aspirate processing by FACS demonstrated the reliability and accuracy of the microfluidic chip in tracking disease burden, with highly agreement results obtained between the two methods. The non-invasive nature of the microfluidic chip and its ability to provide real-time insights into disease progression make it a promising tool for the proactive monitoring and personalized patient care of AML.
期刊介绍：
Biomedical Microdevices: BioMEMS and Biomedical Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary periodical devoted to all aspects of research in the medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (BioMEMS) and nanotechnology for medicine and biology.
General subjects of interest include the design, characterization, testing, modeling and clinical validation of microfabricated systems, and their integration on-chip and in larger functional units. The specific interests of the Journal include systems for neural stimulation and recording, bioseparation technologies such as nanofilters and electrophoretic equipment, miniaturized analytic and DNA identification systems, biosensors, and micro/nanotechnologies for cell and tissue research, tissue engineering, cell transplantation, and the controlled release of drugs and biological molecules.
Contributions reporting on fundamental and applied investigations of the material science, biochemistry, and physics of biomedical microdevices and nanotechnology are encouraged. A non-exhaustive list of fields of interest includes: nanoparticle synthesis, characterization, and validation of therapeutic or imaging efficacy in animal models; biocompatibility; biochemical modification of microfabricated devices, with reference to non-specific protein adsorption, and the active immobilization and patterning of proteins on micro/nanofabricated surfaces; the dynamics of fluids in micro-and-nano-fabricated channels; the electromechanical and structural response of micro/nanofabricated systems; the interactions of microdevices with cells and tissues, including biocompatibility and biodegradation studies; variations in the characteristics of the systems as a function of the micro/nanofabrication parameters.
