  • Use of lipid particles in medical diagnostics
    Patent number: 11353467
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for identifying one or more diseased cells in a subject. Some embodiments include providing a biological sample derived from a subject, analyzing the biological sample by mass spectrometry, and determining the abundance of one or more lipids in the biological sample, wherein an altered abundance of the one or more lipids in the biological sample, as compared to a reference level, indicates a presence of one or more diseased cells in the subject from which the biological sample is derived.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2022
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Katherine B. Louie, Benjamin P. Bowen, Trent R. Northen
  • Metabolic flux measurement, imaging and microscopy
    Patent number: 10386371
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for measuring molecular flux rates of molecules of interest in a tissue sample in spatially-organized manner and generating output (e.g., an image, a heat map, a contour map, a table or a database) representing the molecular flux rates of each spatially-defined location of the sample. Provided herein are also the output, as well as systems and computer-readable medium with computer-executable instructions for determining molecular flux rates of molecules of interest in the sample.
