Proteomics News and Research

RSS

The term 'proteome' was first coined in 1994, and refers to all the proteins in a cell, tissue, or organism. Proteomics refers to the study of the proteome. Because proteins are involved in almost all biological activities, the proteome is a rich source of biological information.

How are SARS-CoV-2 variants outsmarting our immune system and vaccines?

Researchers use multiomics analysis to understand how SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Alpha, Delta, and Omicron, modulate the host's cellular responses and adapt to evade human immunity. The study highlights the potential for targeted therapies against both adaptive and innate immune responses.
