The recent upswing in the integration of spatial multi-omics for conducting multidimensional information measurements is opening a new chapter in biological research. Mapping the landscape of various ...

The development of analytical technology that allows investigation of the diversity of cells that form biological tissues based on molecular information is important to elucidate the heterogeneity of ...

In neuroinflammation, immune cells such as leukocytes cross the blood-brain barrier. One key to this is the gelatinases matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9. Until now, the substrates of these ...

Researchers 3D printed a miniature ionizer, a key component of a mass spectrometer. Their device could someday enable an affordable, in-home mass spectrometer for health monitoring. Mass spectrometry, ...

At the University of Oxford, Justin Benesch studies assemblies made between proteins called molecular chaperones and the proteins they protect in cells. These assemblies slow the formation of amyloid ...

The Peregrine Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer (PITMS) has returned to Earth after an eventful ten days in space, burning up on re-entry over the Pacific Ocean. Developed at short notice by RAL Space, the ...

Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. The traditional method for detecting dissolved gases in the deep sea is offline detection, which combines pressure sampling with laboratory analysis. This ...

The fact that sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAG) are necessary for functioning of all animal physiological systems drives the need to understand their biology. This understanding is limited, however, ...

An illustration of an antibody disrupting the binding between a virus particle and a receptor on the edge of a membrane. A drug (orange) blocks the SARS-CoV-2 virus (gold sphere with white protruding ...

Our food and our bodies are full of tiny protein fragments called peptides. These small chains of amino acids act as biological messengers, influencing processes ranging from sensory perception to ...

Day 1 of the annual meeting of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS; NM, USA) has been jam-packed with press conferences from the biggest names in mass spectrometry, and I have been to ...
