Proteomics technologies have produced an abundance of drug targets, which is creating a bottleneck in drug development process. There is an increasing need for better target validation for new drug development and proteomic technologies are contributing to it. Identifying a potential protein drug target within a cell is a major challenge in modern drug discovery; techniques for screening the proteome are, therefore, an important tool. Major difficulties for target identification include the separation of proteins and their detection. These technologies are compared to enable the selection of the one by matching the needs of a particular project. There are prospects for further improvement, and proteomics technologies will form an important addition to the existing genomic and chemical technologies for new target validation. Proteomics is applicable for protein analysis and bioinformatics based analysis gives the comprehensive molecular description of the actual protein component. Bioinformatics is being increasingly used to support target validation by providing functionally predictive information mined from databases and experimental datasets using a variety of computational tools. This review is focused on key technologies for proteomics strategy and their application in protein analysis.

Background: The RAR-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA), a circadian clock molecule, is highly associated with anti-oncogenes. In this paper, we defined the precise action and mechanistic basis of RORA in ESCC development under hypoxia.
Methods: Expression analysis was conducted by RT-qPCR, western blotting, immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays.

Background And Aims: Multimorbidity, the coexistence of multiple chronic diseases, is a rapidly expanding global health challenge, carrying profound implications for patients, caregivers, healthcare systems, and society. Investigating the determinants and drivers underlying multiple chronic diseases is a priority for disease management and prevention.
Method: This prospective cohort study analyzed data from the 53,026 participants in the UK Biobank from baseline (2006 to 2010) across 13.

The importance of sample preparation selection if often overlooked particularly for untargeted multi-omics approaches that gained popularity in recent years. To minimize issues with sample heterogeneity and additional freeze-thaw cycles during sample splitting, multiple -omics datasets (e.g.

Although sperm sexing technology has progressed considerably in the last decade, there are still challenges to fully understand the reason for the low fertility of sexed sperm. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the effect of sexed and non-sexed sperm on the proteome of bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOECs). Semen from six Nellore bulls was used and one ejaculate from each bull was collected and separated into three fractions: non-sexed, sexed for X-sperm and sexed for Y-sperm.

Rationale: The performance of the capillary column directly impacts the separation efficiency of complex sample in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based proteomics studies. The hydraulic packing system offers an effective solution by reducing packing time and expediting the preparation process of column preparation. However, its operational complexity and strict parameter regulation requirements hinder efficient application.
