We have used a recent comparative proteomics technique, differential in-gel electrophoresis (DIGE), to study osteoprogenitor cell response to contact guidance in grooves. In order to increase protein output from small sample sizes, we used bioreactor culture before protein extraction and gel electrophoresis. Mass spectroscopy was used for protein identification. A number of distinct proteins were observed to exhibit significant changes in expression. These changes in protein expression suggest that the cells respond to tailored grooved topographies, with alterations in their proteome concurrent with changes in osteoprogenitor phenotype.

Blood-derived biomaterials with high platelet content have recently emerged as attractive products for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). Platelet-derived bioactive molecules have been shown to play a role in wound healing and tissue regeneration processes by promoting collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Given their regenerative potential, platelet-rich blood derivatives have become a promising treatment option for use in a variety of conditions.

Background: Among gynaecological malignancies, endometrial cancer (EC) is the most prevalent type of uterine cancer affecting women. This study explored the proteomic profiles of plasma samples obtained from EC patients, those with hyperplasia (Hy), and a control group (CO). A combination of techniques, such as 2D-DIGE, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics, including pathway analysis, was used to identify proteins with modified expression levels, biomarkers and their associated metabolic pathways in these groups.

Processing by proteases irreversibly regulates the fate of plant proteins and hampers the production of recombinant proteins in plants, yet only few processing events have been described in agroinfiltrated Nicotiana benthamiana, which has emerged as the main transient protein expression platform in plant science and molecular pharming. Here, we used in-gel digests and mass spectrometry to monitor the migration and topography of 5040 plant proteins within a protein gel. By plotting the peptides over the gel slices, we generated peptographs that reveal where which part of each protein was detected within the protein gel.
