A molecular array for 10-second diagnosis of common spinal tumor types with picosecond infrared laser mass spectrometry
The identified lipids form a "molecular array" for robust diagnosis of meningioma and schwannoma tumors by non-pathologists in a manner similar to genomic, transcriptomic, or methylomic arrays used to diagnose brain cancer types, albeit on a much faster timescale of seconds as opposed to hours.
