A cell capture system including an array, an inlet manifold, and an outlet manifold. The array includes a plurality of parallel pores, each pore including a chamber and a pore channel, an inlet channel fluidly connected to the chambers of the pores; an outlet channel fluidly connected to the pore channels of the pores. The inlet manifold is fluidly connected to the inlet channel, and the outlet channel is fluidly connected to the outlet channel. A cell removal tool is also disclosed, wherein the cell removal tool is configured to remove a captured cell from a pore chamber.

The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip, which includes a cell enrichment region, a cell separation region and a cell capture region, wherein one end of the cell enrichment region is provided with an inlet, and the other end of the cell enrichment region is provided with a waste liquid outlet and an enriched liquid outlet; one end of the cell separation region is provided with a buffer solution inlet and an enriched liquid inlet , and the other end of the cell separation region is provided with an outlet; one end of the cell capture region is provided with an inlet, and the other end of the cell capture region is provided with a separated liquid outlet. Compared with the traditional technology, the chip can separate a target cell from a to-be-treated cell solution with a high efficiency, and capture the target cell in situ in a chip.

Provided herein are methods for identifying and treating cancers that are resistant to PARP inhibition. Methods for sensitizing cancers to a PARP inhibitor therapy are also provided. In some aspects. PARP inhibitor cancers are treated with a PARP inhibitor therapy in combination with a c-Met inhibitor therapy.

The present invention relates to a microfluidic device to manipulate, select, treat, or cultivate living bodies, comprising a first chamber, a second chamber and a network of guiding tracks, wherein: said network of guiding tracks comprises at least one first guiding track connecting the first chamber and the second chamber and at least one second guiding track connecting said at least one first guiding track with at least two interconnections; and said at least one second guiding track comprises a curved part; said curved part exhibiting a concavity facing the second chamber or the part of the network connected to the second chamber.

A cell culture device includes a container having a surface and a plurality of nano-bristles immobilized to the surface. The nano-bristles are made of styrene copolymer or oligopeptide. A method of partially detaching stem cells from a cell culture device includes: seeding stem cells onto the plurality of nano-bristles, culturing the stem cells, detaching a portion of the stem cells from the nano-bristles by a change in temperature or a shear force, and harvesting the portion of the stem cells.

Disclosed is a system to separate, enrich, and/or purify a cellular population from a biological tissue, such as a tissue sample. For example, an adipose tissue sample can be acquired and disrupted. The disrupted tissue sample can then be separated and purified. The separated components can include multipotent, pluripotent, or other cell populations.

The present disclosure describes methods for concentrating microorganisms with concentration agents in a sampling device and the sampling device described herein. More specifically, methods for concentrating microorganisms from large volume samples with concentration agents in a sampling device can provide for rapid, low cost, simple (involving no complex equipment or procedures), and/or effective processes under a variety of conditions.
