Abstract
Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) has long been used for diagnosing various lung diseases through its cellular components. However, the clinical utility of biomolecules in the BALF remains largely unexplored. Recently, mass spectrometry-based proteomics has been applied to profile the BALF proteomes to identify novel biomarkers for lung diseases. This review discusses the current progress in the field of BALF proteomics and highlights its potential as a valuable source of biomarkers for different lung diseases. Additionally, we explored the latest advancements and findings from BALF studies. Finally, we address the current limitations and propose future directions and research opportunities to advance the study of BALF.
期刊介绍:
PROTEOMICS - Clinical Applications has developed into a key source of information in the field of applying proteomics to the study of human disease and translation to the clinic. With 12 issues per year, the journal will publish papers in all relevant areas including:
-basic proteomic research designed to further understand the molecular mechanisms underlying dysfunction in human disease
-the results of proteomic studies dedicated to the discovery and validation of diagnostic and prognostic disease biomarkers
-the use of proteomics for the discovery of novel drug targets
-the application of proteomics in the drug development pipeline
-the use of proteomics as a component of clinical trials.
