What Techniques are Used to Study the Metabolome in Cancer?
Several techniques are utilized to study the cancer metabolome, including mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. These techniques allow for the identification and quantification of metabolites in biological samples. Advanced chromatographic methods like liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) are often coupled with MS to separate complex mixtures of metabolites before detection.
