How copper delivery fuels bacterial respiration
Researchers identify the roles of several proteins in copper homeostasis in the aerobic bacterium Caulobacter vibrioides.
Revealing the glycoproteome of a cancer subtype
Researchers mapped the glycoproteome of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and compared it to intrahepatic tumors. Differences in sugar modifications and immune cell content suggest new biomarkers and guide development of targeted immunotherapies.
Uncovering the mechanisms of a glycosylation disorder
Mutations in OGT, an enzyme that adds sugars to proteins, cause a rare neurological disorder. Using proteomics, researchers reveal how OGT interactions with TET proteins may trigger epigenetic changes and early neural defects.
Heat shock proteins as a promising breast cancer therapeutic
Researchers unveiled isoform-specific targets on heat shock protein 90 which may be beneficial in therapeutic development.
Optimized proteomic analysis of preserved biological tissue samples
Researchers have developed an optimized workflow for analyzing formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue. This workflow provides an enhanced collection of unique proteins and phosphorylation sites for more detailed analysis of biological samples.
Blood proteomics reveals fungal infection signatures for faster diagnosis
Whole-blood proteomics identifies more than 3,000 host and 160 fungal proteins during cryptococcal infection, offering potential biomarkers for faster diagnosis and improved monitoring without invasive spinal taps.

Glutathione pathway implicated in rare disease
Researchers found that glutathione metabolism plays a central role in the pathogenesis of rare disease methylmalonic aciduria using a novel multiomics approach.
A p-value for proteins
Kyoto University researchers developed UniScore, a new tool that uses a target-decoy method to filter false positives in proteomic searches, helping scientists set thresholds and improve reliability when analyzing complex protein data.
Novel way to uncover tumor microenvironment proteomics
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science developed a novel single-cell approach that facilitates the study of proteins surrounding lung cancer cells.
Sizing up cells: How stem cells know when to divide
Stanford University researchers find that stem cells control their size early in cell division across living multicellular systems.
When oncogenes collide in brain development
Researchers at University Medical Center Hamburg, found that elevated oncoprotein levels within the Wnt pathway can disrupt the brain cell extracellular matrix, suggesting a new role for LIN28A in brain development.
The data that did not fit
Brent Stockwell’s perseverance and work on the small molecule erastin led to the identification of ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death with implications for cancer, neurodegeneration and infection.
