METABOLOMICA

Metabolomics, a fascinating and complex discipline, deals with the study of molecules involved in metabolic processes within living organisms. Imagine a laboratory crowded with scientists trying to decipher the secrets hidden in metabolism, the vast web of chemical reactions that gives life to life itself. Through the analysis of molecules present in biological fluids, metabolomics allows us to obtain a unique and detailed snapshot of an individual's health. These molecules, called metabolites, are like small messengers that reveal valuable information about physiological status, response to drugs and even susceptibility to disease. Thanks to metabolomics, the invisible world of metabolism is revealed, opening new frontiers for personalized medicine and the understanding of the mechanisms that regulate life itself.

SEARCH RESULTS

Among the remarkable achievements deriving from the use of metabolomics in the national context, the MEDEA project stands out. It proposes a non-invasive and highly accurate screening system for the early identification of endometrial cancer. Using the most advanced analytical techniques, combined with artificial intelligence models, it was possible to identify a metabolomic signature characteristic of this type of tumor in the blood. The test consists of taking a single drop of blood using a lancing device, as for the measurement of blood sugar. The drop of blood is collected on a special card and subjected to metabolomic analysis. Within two weeks, women who have tested positive will be contacted and referred to a reference center for gynecology oncology for further  investigations.
