Abstract

Proteomics, the comprehensive study of function, composition, structures, and interactions of proteins in biological systems, has emerged as a revolutionary force in the field of molecular medicine. Over the last few decades, this rapidly developing field has played a decisive role in decoding the complex molecular mechanisms underpinning health and disease. In this editorial, we explore the crucial role that proteomics plays in the field of molecular medicine, emphasizing how it has transformed diagnostic/prognostic biomarker discovery, therapeutics, and our basic knowledge of the human body.
