Article | Selective elimination of immunosuppressive T cells in patients with multiple myeloma

| Feb 2021 | Scientists at Heidelberg University Hospital used our scioCD platform to profile CD8⁺SLAMF7⁺ cell cultures:

"High throughput screening of 351 different cytokines and immune proteins in the supernatants of the T cells cultures revealed strong upregulation of IL-6, IL-8, both vital survival factors for myeloma cells, and CXCL5, a chemokine that could enhance the frequency of CD4 Treg, in the cultures containing CD8⁺SLAMF7⁺ cells. IL-2 and IL-5 were upregulated in the control cultures without CD8⁺SLAMF7⁺ T cells, highlighting a more activated state in the control group and suggestion IL-6 and IL-8 as potential effector cytokines for the suppressive CD8⁺SLAMF7⁺ T cells."

Article | Fimepinostat Targets HDAC2 to Suppress Schwannoma Growth

| March 2026 | The HDAC inhibitor fimepinostat effectively induces apoptosis and suppresses tumor cell proliferation, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic strategy for schwannoma.
Sciomics supported the study with proteomic profiling and post-translational modification analysis of human cell samples.

Article | Fos-induced Osteosarcoma Links Cachexia-like Wasting to FGF21

| February 2026 | Fos-driven osteosarcoma induces systemic metabolic alterations and identified FGF21 as a key mediator and promising biomarker of cancer-associated cachexia. Sciomics supported the study by analysing murine serum samples using the scioDiscover proteomic microarray.

Article | Transpulmonary Pressure-Guided PEEP Improves Lung Protection

| October 2025 | In a porcine lung injury model, transpulmonary pressure–guided PEEP titration improved mechanics and reduced tidal stress. Sciomics supported the study by analysing cytokine, chemokine, and surface marker expression levels in plasma samples using the scioCD Precision Proteomics platform.

"From the very beginning, working with the friendly and highly competent team at Sciomics was both professional and refreshingly straightforward. We particularly valued their openness to our specific research questions and the expert support they provided in planning and interpreting our exploratory cytokine analysis in a preclinical lung injury model. Communication was always on equal footing, enriched by Sciomics’ deep expertise, which also sparked new ideas for future projects."

"We collaborated with Sciomics GmbH in Germany to analyze proteomics data from blood samples of kidney transplant recipients and liver perfusates during normothermic machine perfusion. Throughout the process, Sciomics provided exceptional support, ensuring timely data delivery and valuable assistance with data analysis. Their expertise and commitment have been instrumental in advancing our research, and we are currently using their data in multiple manuscript submissions. I highly recommend Sciomics for their reliable service and expertise in proteomics."
