New protein analysis technique may help in early diagnosis of lung cancer.

SomaLogic researchers have described a new approach that may help in early detection of Lung Cancer.

Through a series of chemical modifications of the nucleic acids that make up the aptamer, SomaLogic scientists were able to develop a next generation of aptamers - renamed "SOMAmers" to reflect their increased abilities-that together can bind Proteins of widely diverse types and concentrations.
