Multiomics – News and Features

Researchers have created an intricate molecular map of the human body and its complex physiological processes based on the analysis of thousands of molecules measured in blood, urine and saliva samples from 391 volunteers.

Researchers have developed an AI model that can perform an array of diagnostic tasks for multiple forms of cancer, improving upon existing AI systems.

High concentrations of organic micropollutants caused the death of fish, mussels and snails in the Oder river in 2022 by exacerbating the lethal effects of an algal toxin.

We spoke to physician–scientist Professor Pradipta Ghosh about what drove her to follow this career path, her current work, the value of and challenges faced by physician–scientists and advice for those who are considering following in her footsteps.

New research shows potential for DNA methylation, an epigenetic marker, in understanding how genetics and lifestyle factors influence dementia risk.

Researchers have developed a method to isolate and analyze microglia phagosomes in a rapid, gentle, and unbiased fashion. They also share new insights regarding synaptic pruning and generation of NAD+, a broadly used molecule in the brain, by microglia.

A new study has identified diet-derived metabolites, associated with red and processed meats, that drive young-onset colorectal cancer risk.

If it’s ever felt like everything in your body is breaking down at once, that might not be your imagination. A new Stanford Medicine study shows that many of our molecules and microorganisms dramatically rise or fall in number during our 40s and 60s.

The new study identifies 4,248 CpG sites associated with the risk of seven different types of cancer: breast, colorectal, renal cell, lung, ovarian, prostate and testicular germ cell cancers.

A new metabolome-informed proteome imaging (MIPI) workflow has been developed for studying microscale microhabitats in complex ecosystems, opening the door to novel explorations and applications in both environmental and clinical settings.
