(American Journal of Pathology) Researchers from the Ohio State University have developed a rapid, multiplexed genotyping method to identify the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that affect warfarin dose.

The related report by Yang et al., "Rapid Genotyping of SNPs Influencing Warfarin Drug Response by SELDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry," appears in the March 2010 issue of the Journal of Molecular Diagnostics.

(Wiley-Blackwell) A German-Hungarian research team has developed a mass-spectrometry-based technique by which malignant tumor cells and the surrounding healthy tissue can be distinguished in real time during cancer surgery.

(University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center) Cancer and cell biology experts at the University of Cincinnati have developed a new mass spectrometry-based tool they say provides more precise, cost-effective data collection for drug discovery efforts.
