Affibody Functionalized Beads for the Highly Sensitive Detection of Cancer Cell-Derived Exosomes

Exosomes belong to the class of extracellular vesicles of endocytic origin, which are regarded as a promising source of cancer biomarkers in liquid biopsy. As a result, an accurate, sensitive, and specific quantification of these nano-sized particles is of significant importance. Affinity-based appr...
