New method rapidly analyzes cell proteins and metabolites
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have developed a new method called SMAD for rapidly analyzing cell proteins and metabolites. The technique can detect over 1,300 proteins and 9,000 molecular features from a single sample in under five minutes, with potential applications in studying disease and drug responses. The study's senior author highlights its potential to accelerate drug discovery and improve biological testing.

“Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have developed a fast, new technique for analyzing cells, described in the journal Angewandte Chemie.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No relevant evidence was found in cross-references, web search, or Wikipedia to confirm the claim about Cedars-Sinai's technique or its publication in Angewandte Chemie.
“The approach, called single-injection multi-omics analysis by direct infusion (SMAD), can detect more than 1,300 proteins and more than 9,000 molecular features from a single sample in less than five minutes.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia results mention SMAD proteins and unrelated topics (e.g., Amdo region, Solvated metal atom dispersion), but none confirm the SMAD method's technical specifications (e.g., detecting 1,300 proteins in 5 minutes).

“The method was applied in case studies, including tracking how immune cells shift into different inflammatory states and screening how human cells respond to drug treatments.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence was found in cross-references, web search, or Wikipedia to confirm the application of the SMAD method in immune cell tracking or drug response screening.
“The study was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition with DOI 10.1002/anie.202519836.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia confirms Angewandte Chemie is a journal but does not mention the specific DOI (10.1002/anie.202519836) or study described in the claim.
