92nd iCeMS Seminar: Prof. Hiroshi Matsui

Here, we present three types of large-scale (µm3~mm3) biomimetic 2D and 3D assemblies using nanoscale collagen proteins as building blocks. Biosensor chips for detecting cancer cells will also be discussed. Recently, we improved the protocol to detect cancer cells in urine samples. Finally, the aggressive breast cancer cells could be distinguished from less aggressive ones by measuring impedance values of the samples, opening the possibility that circulating tumor cells (CTC), cancer stem cell (CSC), or metastatic cancer cells may be detected by this technique.
