Abstract: A novel SH-SAW biosensor capable of non-invasive and touch-free detection of cancer cell viability and growth or proliferation in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures as well as stem cell regeneration as it pertains to cancer cell biology and anti-cancer drug development is presented. The biosensor includes two pairs of resonators including interdigital transducers reflecting fingers to quantify mass loading by the cells in suspension as well as within a tumoroid culture platform. The biosensor can be part of a perfused 3PNS-tumoroid system that is amenable to real-time non-invasive monitoring of the cell proliferation, viability, and multiplexed detection of key physiologic and clinical biomarkers.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for treating cancer. Further provided herein are compositions and methods for reducing, inhibiting, or preventing resistance of cancer to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The methods may include administering an anti-resistance agent such as a CYP51A1 inhibitor or an agonist of miRNA-764 (SEQ ID NO: 4) to a subject. A tyrosine kinase inhibitor may also be administered to the subject in addition to the anti-resistance agent.

Abstract: A rapid test kit may have a genetic probe, and antibody detecting probe or a combination of a genetic probe and an antibody detecting probe disposed within one or more test windows of the test kit. A cellulose filter paper membrane with a flow rate selected in a range of about 0.04 to about 0.4 ml/min/cm2 is used in one example. The test kit provides for rapid screening for DNA, RNA or fragments of DNA or RNA in a bodily fluid or antibodies indicating exposure to such DNA/RNA. The genetic probe may include single stranded DNA or a fragment of single stranded DNA, such as primer, immobilized on the filter paper, and a single stranded DNA, such as the same or a different primer, conjugated with a marker, such as a nanotube or nanoparticle. For example, a gold nanoparticle or a carbon nanotube may be used as a staining agent by conjugating the gold nanoparticle or the carbon nanotube to a genetic probe, such as a DNA primer capable of binding with a complementary DNA or viral RNA or a fragment of one of these.
