specific proteins, peptides, and metabolites associated with various medical
conditions, including cancer, diabetes, and infectious diseases.
9.14.41 Biomarker Discovery
MS is employed to discover novel biomarkers that can be used for early disease
detection, prognosis, and treatment response prediction. It helps identify markers for
conditions such a s cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders.
9.14.42 Infectious Disease Detection
MS is utilized in the detection and identification of pathogens, including bacteria,
viruses, and fungi. It is valuable for diagnosing infec tious diseases and monitoring
antimicrobial resistance.
9.14.43 Protein Quantification
MS-based quantification methods, such as selected reaction monitoring (SRM) and
multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), are used to measure protein concentrations,
providing insights into disease-related changes.
9.14.44 Genomic and Proteomic Research
MS is used to study the proteomes and posttranslational modifications of proteins,
aiding in understanding the molecular basis of diseases. It complements genom ics by
providing information on the functional aspects of genes and gene products.
9.14.45 Clinical Research
MS is employed in clinical research studies, investigating disease mechanisms,
treatment effects, and patient outcomes. It helps validate potential drug targets and
assess the effectiveness of new therapies.
9.14.46 Patient Stratification
MS-based molecular profiling assists in patient stratification for personalized medicine, ensuring that treatment strategies are tailored to individual patients. It helps
identify responders and nonresponders to specific therapies.
