Figure 1. Schematic showing principle of microcantilever sensor operation.

Figure 1

(a) Microcantilever coated with non-specific reference peptide (Ref-1or Ref-2) shows no response to the presence of normal or cancer cells (no deflection). (b) Microcantilever functionalized with cancer targeting peptide (18-4 or cRGDfC) demonstrates a strong response (deflection) to cancerous cells due to peptide-cancer cell interactions.
