METHODS Special Issue: Multiplex Assays Enable Simultaneous Measurement of RNA and Proteins

A more comprehensive view sheds light on the biological response to muscle injury

Scientists at the University of North Texas have established a novel method for measuring a broad range of RNA and protein biomarkers. In their study, they employed bead-based multiplex detection to assess the effects of skeletal muscle injury over time, but the same concept could be useful for many clinical applications.

The team—led by Melody Gary—published their results in an April 2019 issue of Methods.

Multiplex methods can do more with less

For this project, they used a multiplex assay based on Advances in Bead-Based Biomarker Detection [Methods xMAP® Issue]
