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...
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 ...
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is an emerging technology that holds potential for improving, biomarker discovery, metabolomics research, pharmaceutical applications and clinical diagnosis. Despite many solutions being developed, the large data size ...
SARS-CoV-2 infection poses a global health crisis. In parallel with the ongoing world effort to identify therapeutic solutions, there is a critical need for improvement in the prognosis of COVID-19. Here, we report plasma proteome fingerprinting that...
Recent studies have demonstrated that the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) could be used to detect superbugs, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Due to an increasingl...
The 2019 novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has created an unsustainable need for molecular diagnostic testing. Molecular approaches such as reverse transcri...
Streptococcus uberis is one of the leading pathogens causing mastitis worldwide. Identification of S. uberis strains that fail to respond to treatment with antibiotics is essential for better decision making and treatment selection. We demonstrate th...
An ever-increasing array of imaging technologies are being used in the study of complex biological samples, each of which provides complementary, occasionally overlapping information at different length scales and spatial resolutions. It is important...
MALDI-TOF MS is an effective potential tool to distinguish between MSSA and MRSA. By combining the ClinProTools3.0 software and manual grouping intervention, we proposed a model optimization method for the first time. The cross validation of the mode...
