Integrative proteome analysis of bone marrow interstitial fluid and serum reveals candidate signature for acute myeloid leukemia.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive form of blood cancer and clinically highly heterogeneous characterized by the accumulation of clonally proliferative immature precursors of myeloid lineage leading to bone marrow failure. Although, the current diagnostic methods for AML consist of cytogenetic and molecular assessment, there is a need for new markers that can serve as useful candidates in diagnosis, prognosis and understanding the pathophysiology of the disease. This study involves the investigation of alterations in the bone marrow interstitial fluid and serum proteome of AML patients compared to controls using label-free quantitative proteomic approach.

A single step and rapid protein extraction protocol developed for cell lines and tissues: Compatible for gel based and gel free proteomic approaches.

Proteins are crucial research molecules in modern biology. Almost every biological research area needs protein-based assays to answer the research questions. The study of the total protein content of a biological sample known as Proteomics, is one of the highly rated qualitative and quantitative approach to address numerous biological problems including clinical research.

Investigation of altered urinary metabolomic profiles of invasive ductal carcinoma of breast using targeted and untargeted approaches.

Introduction: Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is a type of breast cancer, usually detected in advanced stages due to its asymptomatic nature which ultimately leads to low survival rate. Identification of urinary metabolic adaptations induced by IDC to understand the disease pathophysiology and monitor therapy response would be a helpful approach in clinical settings. Moreover, its non-invasive and cost effective strategy better suited to minimize apprehension among high risk population.
