Drug Discovery Insights: Biological Drivers Impacting Plasma Proteins
Researchers have conducted a groundbreaking study focusing on drug discovery and the biological influences on plasma proteins. They examined 4,775 plasma proteins to reveal the interplay of modifiable factors such as diet, physical activity, and smoking, alongside non-modifiable factors like genetics. This significant exploration highlights the roles of c-reactive protein, which is linked to inflammation, and reveals insights into cancer, kidney, and liver health.
Furthermore, understanding the genome and proteome interactions offers new avenues for therapeutic development, establishing a pathway for targeted drug discovery based on genetic predisposition.
