Improved Detection of Circulating Epithelial Cells in Patients with Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms

Circulating epithelial cells (CECs) were purified using a microfluidic device from healthy donors, patients bearing intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and their transcriptomes were sequenced. Overall design: examination of mRNA expression of mucin genes in the above samples
