Abstract

Read online

Biomonitoring of sweat from fingertips overcomes current limitations in time-resolved metabolomic profiling of humans and may prove to become a powerful, noninvasive tool for precision medicine. Here, in a feasibility study of short interval sampling of sweat from fingertips, the authors assay individual dynamic metabolic patterns of endogenous and exogenous molecules.
