Introduction

Secretomics, a branch of molecular biology, delves into the intricate world of secreted molecules and their role in cell-to-cell communication. This emerging field has gained prominence in recent decades due to its potential to unravel novel insights into various biological processes. 

History

The origins of secretomics can be traced back to the early studies on cell signaling and communication. The discovery of hormones and their effects on distant organs laid the foundation for understanding how cells communicate. In the mid-20th century, advancements in techniques like chromatography and electrophoresis enabled scientists to isolate and study secreted proteins. With the advent of molecular biology techniques, the focus shifted towards deciphering the genetic basis of secreted molecules.

Noteworthy Personnel

Several pioneers have contributed to the development of secretomics. Names like Rita Levi-Montalcini, Rosalind Franklin, and Gunter Blobel stand out for their groundbreaking work on cell signaling, protein secretion, and signal peptides. Their contributions have paved the way for modern secretomics research.

Evolution till Date

Over the years, secretomics has evolved from studying single proteins to a comprehensive analysis of secreted molecules, including proteins, peptides, lipids, and small molecules. Technological advancements such as mass spectrometry, transcriptomics, and proteomics have enabled researchers to uncover complex signaling networks and understand their roles in development, immune response, and disease progression.
