Detailed characterization of complex biological surfaces by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) requires instrumentation that is capable of high mass resolving power, mass accuracy and dynamic range. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass sp...
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) represents a potential strategy to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with refractory melanoma; however, the role of FMT in first-line treatment settings has not been evaluated. We conducted a multicenter phase I trial combining ...
The pregnancy vaginal microbiome contributes to risk of preterm birth, the primary cause of death in children under 5 years of age. Here we describe direct on-swab metabolic profiling by Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (DESI-MS) for sample preparation-free characterisation of...
BACKGROUND: There is a critical need for rapid viral infection diagnostics to enable prompt case identification in pandemic settings and support targeted antimicrobial prescribing.
METHODS: Using untargeted high-resolution liquid chromatography coupled with...
