Magnetic beads streamline large-scale analysis of disease-linked glycopeptides

A research team has developed a reliable, economical laboratory method that uses tiny magnetic beads to study proteins with sugar molecules attached to them in blood and tissue samples. A better understanding of their pathological changes could help researchers diagnose and treat diseases, including cancer.

New high-temperature, high-pressure isotope ratio analysis method developed for halogenated compounds

Halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) are widely used in industrial and consumer products, but some are highly persistent and difficult to analyze and manage. In a new study, researchers developed an innovative approach for carbon isotope ratio analysis of these compounds, which has previously been difficult. This approach will help track the sources and environmental pathways of such pollutants, contributing to the development of effective management strategies.

Single amino acid swap expands nanoparticle vaccine approach to influenza viruses

Influenza viruses constantly shapeshift to evade recognition by the immune system. This shapeshifting occurs in critical proteins like hemagglutinin (HA), which controls how the virus attaches to human cells before entering them. Influenza viruses can evade immunity in two major ways: through the gradual accumulation of mutations that make HA harder for the immune system to recognize or through reassortment events that can introduce substantially different viral proteins and potentially lead...

Algorithm improves detection of differentially expressed genes in large single-cell trajectory data sets

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a method for measuring gene expression in individual cells, allowing observation of various cellular processes, including cell differentiation, the cell cycle and stimulus response, for each unique cell instead of averaging across millions of cells. It provides high-resolution snapshots of biological processes. However, it does not track the same cell continuously over time.
