Protein modifications drive lung cancer resistance
New assay enriches protein modifications in a single process, enabling detection of key changes in drug-resistant lung cancer cells that may guide future therapies.
How antigen-processing proteins shape immunity
Researchers show how components of the antigen processing machinery shape the immunopeptidome, offering insights into immune regulation and cancer biology.
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.
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.
