WHEN LESS IS MORE: SPECIFIC CAPTURE AND ANALYSIS OF TUMOR EXOSOMES IN PLASMA INCREASES THE SENSITIVITY OF LIQUID BIOPSY FOR COMPREHENSIVE DETECTION OF MULTIPLE ANDROGEN RECEPTOR PHENOTYPES IN ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER PATIENTS

When Less Is More: Specific Capture and Analysis of Tumor Exosomes in Plasma Increases the Sensitivity of Liquid Biopsy for Comprehensive Detection of Multiple Androgen Receptor Phenotypes in Advanced Prostate Cancer Patients

We evaluated the advantages and the reliability of novel protocols for the enrichment of tumor extracellular vesicles (EVs), enabling a blood-based test for the noninvasive parallel profiling of multiple androgen receptor (AR) gene alterations.Three clinically relevant AR variants related to response/resistance to standard-of-care treatments (AR-V7

Effect of Ethanol Concentrations in Internal Coagulant on the Morphology and Separation Performance of Polyethersulfone (PES) Hollow Fiber UFMembranes Prepared by PES/Ethanol/NMP Solution

Polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber UF membranes were fabricated usingethanol (non-solvent) as additive and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as asolvent.Asymmetric hollow fiber UF membranes were spun by wet phaseinversion method from 18 wt.% solids of 18:10:72 (weight ratio) PES/Nonsolvent/NMP solutions.Effect of ethanol concentrations in internal coag
