A better understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying human disease

This review summarises and discusses the degree to which proteomics is contributing to medical care, providing examples and signspots for future directions. Why do genomic approaches provide a limited view of gene expression? Because of the multifactorial nature of many diseases, proteomics enables us to understand the molecular basis of disease, not only at the organism, whole‐cell or tissue levels, but also in subcellular structures, protein...
