Why Chromatography Still Matters in the Age of More Sensitive Mass Spectrometry

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Mass spectrometry (MS) is more powerful than ever. Modern clinical MS systems deliver extraordinary analytical sensitivity, selectivity, and quantitative performance, opening the door to broader test menus with lower detection limits. With capabilities like these, it’s tempting to ask a simple question: Does chromatography still matter as much as it used to? The short answer...

What’s Really Happening to Your rAAV Under Stress?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Ensuring the stability of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors remains a central challenge in gene therapy development. rAAV particles are structurally complex, highly heterogeneous, and sensitive to environmental stress, making it difficult to link analytical changes to functional consequences during manufacturing and storage. A recent Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciencesstudy by Prof. Susumu Uchiyama and colleaguesat...

Seeing What Others Missed: How CDMS Unlocked Proteasome Function

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Understanding how bacterial proteasomes recognize and process their substrates remains a major challenge in infectious disease biology and drug discovery. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, this challenge is particularly critical, as the proteasome is essential for bacterial survival inside host macrophages and represents an attractive antibacterial target. A recent Nature Communications study by Prof. Siavash Vahidi and...

Toward Redosable Gene Therapy: Engineering AAVs to Evade T‑Cells

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are widely used in gene therapy because of their ability to enable long-term transgene expression with favorable safety profiles. However, immune responses to the AAV capsid remain a major barrier, limiting treatment durability and the feasibility of repeat dosing. A recent Nature Communications study led by Dr. Ronit Mazor and colleagues...

Considering Adopting the Cloud in Your Lab? What to Consider When Choosing Cloud Software

Reading Time: 6 minutes

For many laboratories, the conversation around cloud and SaaS software has shifted from if to when. The benefits are well understood—reduced infrastructure, greater flexibility, and continuous updates—but the decision itself is rarely simple. Moving to the cloud is not just a technical change. It reshapes how your lab operates, scales, and collaborates. The key is...
