Mass Spectrometry Imaging Used to Process Biologic “Big Data”

The vast amounts of data that are generated by the latest scientific instruments are leading to significant scientific discoveries, but only when scientists can effectively process that data. Big data represents both an opportunity and a challenge for scientists. This is especially the case for analytic scientists studying biologic materials using a fairly new technique known as mass spectrometry imaging. Help has arrived from a recent project, however, called Computis, which has a range of new tools for effectively processing MSI data.   More...

Brown Fat Hormone Signaling Prevents Obesity by Modulating Liver Lipid Metabolism

A hormone produced by brown adipose tissue has been determined to modulate the activity of liver cells that metabolize sugar into fats and is apparently linked to the development of metabolic disorders such as type II diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and obesity.  More...
