Proteomics: techniques and applications in neuroscience.

This Preface introduces the articles of the special issue on 'Proteomics' where we survey these powerful techniques specifically in the context of applications in neurosciences. Proteomics as used here is a catch-all term for approaches where a broad survey of all protein content of a cell or tissue is performed in parallel. In the special issue, various experts outline applications as diverse as finding disease biomarkers in human samples, including living participants or post-mortem brain, as well as application of protein technologies to model systems such as animals and cells. Collectively, these articles outline the utility of current technologies for proteome interrogation and identify enhancements that will shape applications to future studies. This is the Preface for the special issue "Proteomics". Cover Image for this issue: doi: 10.1111/jnc.14530.
