Functional Proteomics is a useful technology to study the neuronal biochimism, allowing to evaluate the metabolic changes within neuronal cells and brain tissue that may imply some physiopathological modifications. In fact, changes in brain energy metabolism was shown to be causative of development/progression of both neurological and psychiatric disorders. In this paper, it is particularly described the role of brain energy metabolism as a key etiopathological factor in dementias, in the perspective of using functional Proteomics as a tool for novel biomarker discovery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
