A new study, published today in Nature, reveals the hidden benefits of weight loss on fat tissue.

A better understanding of how weight loss leads to health improvements at a molecular level could help inform the development of therapies for diseases such as type 2 diabetes in the future.

Major breast cancer screening AI trial to begin - BBC News Almost 700,000 women to be recruited to study as government fires starting gun on cancer strategy.

700,000 women are to be recruited to take part in an NHS AI breast cancer screening trial in England. Five different AI platforms will be tested across 30 sites from April to see if the technology can speed up diagnosis as well as free up radiologists.

We developed a proteomic kinase activity sensor platform (ProKAS) for the analysis of kinase signaling using mass spectrometry. ProKAS is based on a tandem array of peptide sensors with amino acid barcodes that allow multiplexed analysis for spatial, kinetic, and screening applications.

Excited to share our preprint reporting a completely new approach to study kinase signaling: ProKAS.

ProKAS is based on a tandem array of peptide sensors with barcodes for multiplexed, spatial and kinetic applications.

We applied it to DDR kinases. Please share.
