Detection of cancer is a challenging task, especially since many common diffuse symptoms overlap with non-malignant conditions. In an article in Nature Communications it was shown that plasma protein profiling can be used to identify cancer among patients with non-specific symptoms...Read more

The Human Pan Disease Atlas article is now available in the latest issue of Science released December 18. The article describes how a next-generation targeted proteomics assay was used to analyze the blood profiles of thousands of patients representing most major disease classes, and to assess the stability and variability of protein profiles in healthy adults as well as for the child to adult development...Read more

At the 24th HUPO World Congress in Toronto, the theme "One Health Powered by Proteomics" emphasized the deep interconnectedness of humans, animals, microbes, and environments. In an article in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News, Gustav Ceder shares his impressions from this world congress together with thoughts and perspectives from some of the big players in the proteomics field...Read more

A new study has mapped the distinct molecular "fingerprints" that 59 diseases leave in an individual's blood protein - which would enable blood tests to discern troubling signs from those that are more common. Publishing today in Science, an international team of researchers mapped how thousands of proteins in human blood shift as a result of aging and serious diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases...Read more

In an Olink-sponsored Labroots webinar on February 4 three key opinion leaders in proteomics will discuss how integrating antibody-based methods with LC- MS ultimately can advance clinical research...Read more
