Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from cancer cells promote abnormal growth in normal cells, potentially leading to cancer proliferation. We developed a nanowire-based EV-elimination device that efficiently eliminated EVs without toxicity. This method restored normal growth in mammary gland cells cultured with breast adenocarcinoma-derived EVs containing medium treated with the device.
