Abstract

Inorganic nanowires recently show their great promise for analyzing cells or intracellular components due to the nanowires feature of a stealth effect against cell surfaces [1]. Here we showed a novel usability of the nanowires to achieve an efficient capture of extracellular vesicles, which surfaces is similar to the cell surfaces, and early diagnosis based on the vesicles microRNAs. Our methodology could achieve extracellular vesicles capture in urine over 95% within 40 min, and detect cancer- and type 2 diabetes-related microRNAs from urine samples.
