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.

Article | Long-Term Biobanked Dental Pulp Stem Cells Retain Angiogenic Potential

| September 2025 | Biobanked dental pulp stem cells preserved for years retained their angiogenic capacity and stem cell phenotype. Sciomics supported the study by analysing cell differentiation marker profiles from dental pulp stem cells using the scioCD Precision Proteomics platform.

Article | Fibroblast–monocyte signalling via TLR4 drives TNBC metastasis

| September 2025 | A TLR4-dependent axis between fibroblasts and monocytes in tumor-draining lymph nodes drives metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer. Sciomics provided protein profiling of lymph node and tumor samples to map surface- and immune-related protein changes using the scioCD protein profiling platform.

Article | Extracorporeal photopheresis alters cytokine profile in CTCL

| September 2025 | ECP rapidly modulates cytokine levels and immune cell composition in CTCL patients, revealing strong systemic immune effects. Sciomics‘ scioCD platform was used to profile plasma proteins and identify cytokine and surface marker changes in CTCL patients.

Article | Lactate-driven immune hotspots resolved via SLC5A12 blockade

| August 2025 | Lactate signaling induces cytokine production and T/B cell clustering in Sjögren’s disease, and SLC5A12 blockade reverses these effects. Sciomics contributed to this study by comparing protein abundance and acetylation levels of murine cells using the scioDiscover protein profiling platform.

Article | Anti-cancer activity and mechanism of action of metformin in endometrial cancer cells

| March 2021 | Scientists at Heidelberg University Hospital characterized the protein profile response of an endometrial cell line to Metformin treatment and hyperinsulinemia  with our scioDiscover platform:

"The presented data helps identify potential targets affected by metformin treatment in EC and allows for a better understanding of the mechanism of action of the biguanide drug’s anti-cancer activity.

With the presented data, we contribute to a better understanding of the anti-cancer activity of metformin as well as its underlying mechanism of action in EC cells."

Article | Analysis of the Differential Gene and Protein Expression Profiles of Corneal Epithelial Cells Stimulated with Alternating Current Electric Fields

| Feb 2021 | Scientists at Rostock University Medical Center used our scioCDplatform to Corneal Epithelial Cells stimulated with Alternating Current Electric Fields:

"Analysis of the protein array data revealed that the treatment of cells with AC EFs altered the expression of various protein products ... revealed activation of various diverse cellular signaling pathways in which TNF, MAPK, IL17, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways were significantly impacted ..."
