Sweet secrets of sperm glycosylation
Scientists from Utrecht University uncover similar glycosylation patterns in sperm from bulls, boars and humans, distinct from those found in blood across species. These findings may improve IVF and farming techniques.
New mass spectrometry assay speeds up UTI diagnosis
Scientists in Quebec use liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry to reduce the time needed to test for bacteria in urine from days to minutes — and with smaller samples.

A proteomic hunt for phosphosites in the aging brain
In older mice, researchers found more enzymes that phosphorylate other proteins and changes in phosphorylation levels in proteins associated with neurodegeneration.
Of yeasts and men: One-hour proteomes, 10 years apart
To profile the human proteome within an hour, the researchers used a new mass spectrometer and packed their liquid chromatography columns with very high pressure.

Quantifying how proteins in microbe and host interact
“To develop better vaccines, we need new methods and a better understanding of the antibody responses that develop in immune individuals,” author Johan Malmström said.
