The Cover Feature shows a scheme of an acoustics aptasensor for detecting leukemia cells based on thiolated DNA aptamers immobilized at a thin gold electrode of a quartz crystal transducer. The aptamers recognize PTK7 cancer markers at the cell surface. Binding of the cells resulted in decrease of the resonant frequency of the aptasensor. More information can be found in the Article by A. Poturnayová et al. on page 545 in Issue 4, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.201801126).
