Browsing: Metallomics

Metallomics is the comprehensive study of the role, distribution, and function of metals and metal-containing molecules within biological systems. This interdisciplinary field integrates biology, chemistry, and analytical science to understand how metals like iron, zinc, copper, and others impact cellular processes, signaling pathways, and overall health. Metallomics investigates the essential and toxic roles of metals, their dynamic interactions with biomolecules, and their implications in diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders. Advances in this field are revealing how metals contribute to cellular function and are inspiring novel therapeutic approaches and diagnostic tools in medicine.
