While genomics studies the full set of genes, proteomics studies the proteins those genes produce, which can more directly reflect a cell’s physiologic state. In this study , using proteomics, authors asked: Why do treatment responses differ between traditional tenopathy and tenopathy associated with diabetes? The study Researchers analyzed Achilles tendon tissue using mass spectrometry to quantify thousands of proteins, comparing patterns from three groups: Tendinopathy (n
