Ground-breaking technology ‘Deep Visual Proteomics’ unites four technologies
23-May-2022
How does cancer arise? How does cellular composition influence tumor malignancy? These questions are profound and challenging to answer, but are crucial to understand the disease and find the right cure. Now, a German-Danish team led by Professor Matthias Mann has developed a ground-breaking ...
Mass spectrometry and the like as tools of biomarker analytics
19-May-2022
From cancer to birth defects to infectious disease: Modern gene and bioanalysis is the key to personalized medicine. Its goal it to increase the success rate of recovery and minimize side effects by examining the illness and the individual characteristics of a patient as precisely as possible. ...
Proteins could one day allow breast cancer screening to be done with a blood test
07-Apr-2022
A simple blood test for women of all ages and risk levels could one day be possible thanks to a new set of protein biomarkers that researchers identified using breast milk. “Although mammograms are a useful tool for catching breast cancer early, they aren’t typically recommended for low-risk ...
Study powerfully demonstrates how the consequences of glycation for the whole proteome can be studied
01-Apr-2022
To maintain organ functions, the proteins in the cells need to be kept in balance (proteostasis). This state is disturbed with increasing age. One possible cause is glycation, in which sugars and proteins combine irreversibly. These advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate and can lead ...
Using mass spectrometry to determine the chemicals in the blow flies' guts
30-Mar-2022
Researchers at the School of Science at IUPUI have found that blow flies can be used as chemical sensors, with a particular focus on the detection of chemical warfare agents. Despite widespread bans, chemical weapons have been deployed in recent conflicts such as the Syrian civil war, and some ...
New tools in virus research and detection
22-Mar-2022
Whether PCR apps or high-tech analysis equipment for vaccine development: during the pandemic, the chemical analysis and biotech sector has demonstrated its strength. From June 21 to 24, 2022, the industry will come together in Munich at analytica, the leading trade fair for analysis, laboratory ...
Advanced mass spectrometry helps unravel complexity of PFAS chemistry
07-Feb-2022
PFAS, a family of thousands of human-made chemicals, are everywhere, and some of them are known to be harmful for our bodies and the environment. Even more frightening is how little we know about these pervasive pollutants found in everything from food packaging and cleaning products to ...
Nanoplastic in the environment: New chemical method for counting plastic particles developed
27-Jan-2022
In a large-scale fundraising campaign, popular YouTubers like Mister Beast and Mark Rober are currently trying to rid the oceans of almost 14,000 tonnes of plastic waste. That's about 0.15 per cent of the amount that ends up in the oceans every year. But it's not just our waters that are full of ...
