Nanoparticles released by tumors into circulation are an important source of new biomarkers that have the potential to be sensitive enough for early stage cancer detection. These nanoparticles include exosomes, which are secreted by tumor cells at higher levels than healthy cells, contain biomolecular cargo from the tumor cells themselves, and perform critical functions in carcinogenesis. 000009493 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009493 650__ $$aNeoplasms$$022758 000009493 650__ $$aNanoparticles$$037592 000009493 650__ $$aNanoparticle Drug Delivery System$$013752 000009493 650__ $$aLiquid Biopsy$$012229 000009493 6531_ $$aimage processing 000009493 6531_ $$acancer 000009493 6531_ $$adielectrophoresis 000009493 6531_ $$acyclic immunofluorescence 000009493 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009493 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000009493 7001_ $$aGustafson, Kyle T. 000009493 8564_ $$9bfcd77e4-fc2c-41dd-9377-7e06c63c39ce$$s5500434$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9493/files/Gustafson.Kyle.2022.pdf 000009493 905__ $$a/rest/prod/70/79/58/41/70795841z 000009493 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9493$$pstudent-work 000009493 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
