Abstract
Metabolomics is an emerging field involving the systematic identification and quantification of numerous metabolites in biological samples. Precision medicine applies multiomics systems biology to individual patients for reliable diagnostic classification, disease monitoring, and treatment. Multiomics systems biology encompasses genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, and metabolomics. Therefore, metabolomic techniques could be highly valuable for future clinical decision-making. This review provides a technical overview of two commonly used techniques for metabolomics measurements: mass spectrometry (MS) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. We also discuss recent clinical advances in these techniques. Individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) exhibit significant variability in prognosis and response to treatment. Since both genetic predisposition and environmental factors contribute to this condition, targeting the metabolome may provide key insights for distinguishing and profiling patients with different clinical needs. Additionally, the considerable overlap in the clinical presentation of various disease subtypes emphasizes the need for enhanced diagnostic methods to improve patient care.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
