A new microchip from the lab of Euisik Yoon captures as many as 10,000 individual cancer cells in tiny chambers. In these chambers, regular cancer cells die, but stem-cell-like cancer cells grow into tiny colonies. The chip could enable close study of these rare stem-like cancer cells, which are believed to be responsible for relapses and metastases in cancer patients. The video is by Yu-Heng Cheng, a doctoral student in electrical engineering and computer science. Yoon is a professor of electrical engineering and computer science and a professor of biomedical engineering.
