Protein Patterning: Novel Tool for Studying Sepsis
In a new approach using quantitative targeted proteomics, researchers have for the first time developed a way to use mass-spectrometry to measure hundreds of organ proteins in a single blood sample. The resulting protein patterns can help determine sepsis severity, which organs have been damaged, and may lead to faster diagnostics. More...18 Jan 2016
