Early detection of cancer is key to better outcomes for patients, and cancer screening using minimally invasive samples such as blood, urine, saliva and exfoliated cells is receiving increasing attention.

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are ubiquitous glycoconjugates present on the cell membrane, which play significant roles in organism. Analyzing such amphiphilic molecules is a major challenge in the field of glycosphingolipidomics. We provide a new method to analyze GSL glycans by a lectin microarray.

What are we, immigrant scientists to do with deteriorating parents? Leave them at nursing homes or with home health aides in faraway lands without immediate family nearby? Bring them over? Move back home? When the pandemic hit, I saw a new way out.

Pregnancy loss is a devastating event and whilst conventional autopsy techniques can provide parents with answers as to the cause of their loss, many decline due to its invasive nature. We describe micro-CT as an alternative to conventional autopsy and why this is more acceptable to parents.

Systematic assays suitable for use with peptide arrays are described in this protocol to evaluate biological activities associated with host defense peptides (HDPs), such as biofilm inhibition and/or immunomodulatory properties.
