Researchers developed a mass spectrometry method to analyze tissue during brain tumor surgery, distinguishing glioma from non-tumor tissue with high confidence. The method, which takes roughly three minutes, provides actionable molecular information during surgery, potentially guiding treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes.
Researchers have identified a metal deficiency in SOD1 protein associated with motor neurone disease using native ambient mass spectrometry imaging. This breakthrough could lead to new insights and treatments for the disease, which affects around 5,000 people in the UK.
A new type of sampler using felt nibs from pens has been developed for collecting biological samples, offering longer storage life and ease of use. This technology has potential applications in space exploration and medical settings.
