Single protein biomarkers measured with antibody-based affinity assays are the basis of molecular diagnostics in clinical practice today. There is great hope in discovering new protein biomarkers and combinations of protein biomarkers for advancing medicine through monitoring health, diagnosing disease, guiding treatment, and developing new therapeutics. The goal of high-content proteomics is to unlock protein biomarker discovery by measuring many (thousands) or all (∼23,000) proteins in the human proteome in an unbiased, data-driven approach. High-content proteomics has proven technically difficult due to the diversity of proteins, the complexity of relevant biological samples, such as blood and tissue, and large concentration ranges (in the order of 10(12) in blood). Mass spectrometry and affinity methods based on antibodies have dominated approaches to high-content proteomics. For technical reasons, neither has achieved adequate simultaneous performance and high-content. Here we review antibody-based protein measurement, multiplexed antibody-based protein measurement, and limitations of antibodies for high-content proteomics due to their inherent cross-reactivity. Finally, we review a new affinity-based proteomic technology developed from the ground up to solve the problem of high content with high sensitivity and specificity. Based on a new generation of slow off-rate modified aptamers (SOMAmers), this technology is unlocking biomarker discovery.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the milks of humans, goats, sheep, and pigs using advanced techniques like metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics to find differences among them and similarities to human milk for infant formula development.
- - Key findings revealed that goat milk had high levels of lactoperoxidase, inosine, and allantoin, while sheep milk showed higher concentrations of ceruloplasmin and alpha-ketoglutarate.
- - Additionally, both goat and sheep milks had a relatively high amount of linoleic acid (LA), and pig milk was noted for having significant levels of milk fat globule EGF factor 8 protein.

Soluble starch synthase IIIa (SSIIIa) is a key enzyme involved in amylopectin biosynthesis in rice, and deficiency of SSIIIa results in high content of resistant starch, which is benefit to human health. However, little is known about metabolic differences and carbon re-allocation in the seeds of the indica rice ss3a mutant. We found that SSIIIa deficiency impaired the storage of starch, but increased the soluble sugars, free amino acids and lipids.

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-secreted particles conceived as natural vehicles for intercellular communication. The capacity to entrap heterogeneous molecular cargoes and target specific cell populations through EV functionalization promises advancements in biomedical applications. However, the efficiency of the obtained EVs, the contribution of cell-exposed receptors to EV interactions, and the predictability of functional cargo release with potential sharing of high molecular weight recombinant mRNAs are crucial for advancing heterologous EVs in targeted therapy applications.

Unlabelled: Acidocalcisomes of are membrane-bounded organelles characterized by their acidity and high content of polyphosphate and cations, like calcium and magnesium. They have important roles in cation and phosphorus storage, osmoregulation, autophagy initiation, calcium signaling, and virulence. Acidocalcisomes of possess several membrane transporters, pumps, and channels, some of which were identified by proteomic and immunofluorescence analyses and validated as acidocalcisome proteins by their colocalization with the acidocalcisome marker vacuolar proton pyrophosphatase (VP1).
