The first award under BioCurate’s new “Proof of Concept” fund has been granted to the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI). This award will support the key research needed to determine the effectiveness of targeting two proteins that could lead to novel, targeted treatments for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and other poor prognosis cancers. The […]

Superparamagnetism in Biomedicine
Superparamagnetism occurs in ferromagnetic nanoparticles, where in the absence of a magnetic field their total average magnetism in any direction (magnetization) appears to be zero. Once in the presence of an external magnetic field they become magnetized, with their magnetic moments aligning with the field. Nanoparticles made from iron oxide are among the most studied […]
MALDI Mass Spectrometry in Biomedicine
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry enables rapid profiling of various biomolecules from both tissues and biofluids. Rost9 | Shutterstock Although MALDI was originally used for the analysis of peptides and proteins, it now plays an important role in biomarker discovery, genotyping, identification of microorganisms, lipidomic analysis, and metabolomics. Improvements in the selection of […]
