In neuroinflammation, immune cells such as leukocytes cross the blood-brain barrier. One key to this is the gelatinases matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9. Until now, the substrates of these ...

Mass spectrometry is already a powerful tool for determining what kind and how many molecules are present in a given sample. But most instruments still analyze their molecules one or just a few at a ...

Researchers 3D printed a miniature ionizer, a key component of a mass spectrometer. Their device could someday enable an affordable, in-home mass spectrometer for health monitoring. Mass spectrometry, ...

Researchers at the Purdue Institute for Cancer Research (PICR) have developed a next-generation technology platform designed ...

To identify specific chemicals or molecules in the life sciences and medical research, scientists often use mass spectrometry (MS), usually paired with liquid chromatography (LC). These technologies ...

The fact that sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAG) are necessary for functioning of all animal physiological systems drives the need to understand their biology. This understanding is limited, however, ...

The Mass Spectrometry Core Laboratory has 1,000 square feet of laboratory space dedicated to providing analytical capabilities to support the Michigan Tech mission. The laboratory provides advanced ...

A quadrupole mass analyser designed for fusion research combines radiation hardness with the ability to distinguish between ...

A research team led by Prof. Chen Chilai from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a deep-sea mass spectrometer. It has completed several sea ...

Day 1 of the annual meeting of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS; NM, USA) has been jam-packed with press conferences from the biggest names in mass spectrometry, and I have been to ...
