Diabetes is a common metabolic disorder that currently affects several hundred million people worldwide. It is estimated that the number of individuals with diabetes could increase to approximately 366 million by the year 2030. Unfortunately, even with the advances that have resulted from diabetes research over the past few decades, a number of significant clinical issues remain for the diabetic patient, including renal, retinal, and neurological complications. Thus, the discovery of new biomarkers for the early diagnosis, progression, and underlying pathway dysfunction of diabetes is vital to help improve clinical outcome.
Dr. Shiying Shao, lead author of the review article, commented: "Prediction and early detection of diabetes offer the potential to delay or even reverse the diabetic process. Unfortunately, currently available diagnostic markers fail to achieve these goals. Thus, it is imperative to identify new biomarkers that offer physicians the ability to evaluate both the necessity and course of medical intervention."
Professor Ruedi Aebersold, co-author of the review article, said: "PCT is a promising sample preparation technology that permits the fast and robust preparation of protein samples from minute amounts of specimen with minimal technical variation. Mass spectrometry ("MS"

Dr. Tiannan Guo, co-author of the review article, said: "MS-based proteomics is evolving rapidly. Although it has penetrated into many branches of biomedical research, obsolete methods still frequently appear in diabetes research literature. We believe that a workflow that combines PCT sample preparation with SWATH-MS next generation proteomics ("PCT-SWATH"

Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, stated: "The incidence of diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. Together with the authors of this review article, we believe that current diagnostic markers for early diagnosis and progression to complications in diabetes are inadequate, and that new, next generation methods for the discovery and validation of such biomarkers are needed. We look forward to working with the authors, their colleagues, and other researchers around the world, in the development and expansion of the PCT-SWATH workflow in the important field of diabetes research."
