Use of lipid particles in medical diagnostics

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1893008
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.
