Abstract
This review summarizes the existing studies of human proteomics technology in the medical field with a focus on the development mechanism of a disease and its potential in discovering biomarkers. Through a systematic review of the relevant literature, we found the significant advantages and application scenarios of proteomics technology in disease diagnosis, drug development, and personalized treatment. However, the review also identifies the challenges facing proteomics technologies, including sample preparation of low-abundance proteins, massive amounts of data analysis, and how research results can be better used in clinical practice. Finally, this work discusses future research directions, including the development of more effective proteomics technologies, strengthening the integration of multi-source omics technologies, and promoting the application of AI in the human proteome.
