Abstract: Liquid biopsy is revolutionizing cancer management, with circulating tumor cells (CTCs), offering a transformative approach to screening, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring. However, existing CTC isolation methods relying on antigen expression or physical properties lack robustness, are operator-dependent, and suffer from automation challenges, leading to inconsistent and time-intensive analyses. A universal, unbiased methodology for CTC detection across tumor types is critically needed. Here, we present the first proof-of-concept study demonstrating the use of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microspectroscopy to study cytospun blood samples coupled with a random forest (RF) classifier, for the detection of a single CTC in the blood of a lung cancer patient as confirmed via immunohistochemistry. Notably, our method utilizes glass coverslips as substrates, routinely employed in pathology departments, enabling seamless integration with histopathological analyses (e.g., staining, immunohistochemistry). Using FT-IR spectral data from in vitro growing lung cancer cells as a training model, we achieved precise CTC identification based on biochemical composition, specifically within the fingerprint region (1800 cm–1 to 1350 cm–1). This study introduces FT-IR microspectroscopy as a novel, label-free approach for CTCs detection in liquid biopsies, with the potential to redefine cancer diagnostics. By enhancing precision and accessibility in CTC identification, the clinical implementation of this methodology may represent a significant advancement in personalized oncology, offering a clinically viable tool for real-time cancer monitoring and improved patient stratification.

Polymers that crawl like worms: How materials can develop direction without being told where to go Researchers at the University of Vienna have uncovered a surprising phenomenon: polymer chains with segments that simply fluctuate at different intensities can spontaneously develop directional, persistent motion when densely packed – even though nothing in the system points them in any particular direction. This "entropic tug of war," driven by fundamental physical constraints, could help explain how DNA organizes and moves inside living cells, and may lead to new materials. The study was currently published in Physical Review X.
