BACKGROUND: Metabolomics is a primary omics topic, which occupies an important position in both clinical applications and basic researches for metabolic signatures and biomarkers. Unfortunately, the relevant studies are challenged by the batch effect...
This study focuses on the feasibility of collaborative robot implementation in a medical microbiology laboratory by demonstrating fine tasks using kinesthetic teaching. Fine tasks require sub-millimetre positioning accuracy. Bacterial colony picking ...
The spread of fungal clones is hard to detect in the daily routines in clinical laboratories, and there is a need for new tools that can facilitate clone detection within a set of strains. Currently, Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization Time-o...
Plasma exosomes have shown great potential for liquid biopsy in clinical cancer diagnosis. Herein, we present an integrated strategy for isolating and analyzing exosomes from human plasma rapidly and then discriminating different cancers excellently ...
Early use of effective antimicrobial treatments is critical for the outcome of infections and the prevention of treatment resistance. Antimicrobial resistance testing enables the selection of optimal antibiotic treatments, but current culture-based t...
Novel boronic acid-functionalized magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes with flexible branched polymer (FeO@MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA) nanocomposites were fabricated and applied as the desorption/ionization matrix for the MALDI-TOF-MS determination of low mole...
Listeria monocytogenes belongs to the category of facultative anaerobic bacteria, and is the pathogen of listeriosis, potentially lethal disease for humans. There are many similarities between L. monocytogenes and other non-pathogenic Listeria specie...
Acquiring comprehensive knowledge about the uptake of pollutants, impact on tissue integrity and the effects at the molecular level in organisms is of increasing interest due to the environmental exposure to numerous contaminants. The analysis of tis...
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has shown to bring invaluable information for biological and clinical applications. However, conventional MSI is generally performed from tissue sections. Here, we developed a novel MS-based method for mass spectrome...
Peptidergic dense-core vesicles are involved in packaging and releasing neuropeptides and peptide hormones-critical processes underlying brain, endocrine and exocrine function. Yet, the heterogeneity within these organelles, even for morphologically ...
