Creating 'satellite maps' of thousands of proteins across tissue could transform drug therapies
Much like a satellite provides a full picture of Earth, a new technology can generate thousands of detailed "satellite maps" showing where individual proteins are located and distributed across an entire tissue in the body or brain.

Much like a satellite provides a full picture of Earth, a new technology can generate thousands of detailed "satellite maps" showing where individual proteins are located and distributed across an entire tissue in the body or brain. A University at Buffalo researcher has developed this technology, called hexagonal micro-scaffold assisted spatial proteomics (hex-MASP), which has the potential to transform how researchers study and create new drugs.
