What are Some Key Findings from Proteomics Studies in Neonatal Disorders?
Several significant findings have emerged from proteomics studies in neonatal disorders:
1. Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS): Proteomic analysis has identified proteins involved in lung development and inflammation, providing new insights into the pathophysiology of RDS. 2. Neonatal Sepsis: Studies have discovered biomarkers that could enable early detection of sepsis, improving prognosis through timely intervention. 3. Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Proteomic profiles have revealed proteins related to neural damage and repair, aiding in understanding the extent and mechanisms of brain injury. 4. Metabolic Disorders: Proteomics has facilitated the identification of enzyme deficiencies and metabolic imbalances, assisting in the diagnosis and management of rare metabolic disorders in neonates.
