New chemical strategy boosts accuracy in proteomics
Researchers develop a methylamine-based method that nearly eliminates peptide overlabeling in proteomics, improving accuracy in protein identification and quantitation.
Inside industry postdocs
As more Ph.D. scientists look beyond academia, industry postdocs offer a new kind of training, where mentorship meets mission-driven research. Fellows at Pfizer and Genentech share how these programs prepare them to translate discovery into impact.
Truttmann recognized for cell stress research
He was honored by the Cell Stress Society International for his work on heat shock protein 70.
Understanding the roles of extracellular matrix and vesicles in valvular disease
MOSAIC scholar Cassandra Clift uses mass spectrometry and multiomics to study cardiovascular calcification and collagen dysregulation, bridging her background in bioengineering and biology to investigate extracellular vesicles and heart disease.
Lipid profiles reveal sex differences in type 2 diabetes
Researchers explored the lipid profiles of individuals with type 2 diabetes and identified potentially useful lipid biomarkers for this condition.
Serum lipids may predict early diabetes risk
Researchers found that levels of two key fatty acids may predict worsening tolerance for glucose, independent of body fat and insulin levels. In turn, these fatty acids may serve as early T2D biomarkers.
Sex and diet shape fat tissue lipid profiles in obesity
Researchers found that sex hormone levels and diet both influence inflammation and lipid composition in obesity.
Learning, leading and lifting others
Tigist Tamir’s journey from aspiring astronaut in Ethiopia to cancer researcher at the University of North Carolina highlights the power of mentorship, persistence and curiosity in shaping a scientific career focused on discovery and equity.
Mapping the placenta’s hormone network
Study uncovers how the placenta actively metabolizes not only glucocorticoids but also novel androgens and progesterones, reshaping our understanding of pregnancy and its complications.
