Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the developed world. To design novel therapeutic strategies to treat and prevent this disease, better understanding of cardiac cell function is necessary. In addition to (and, indeed, in combination with) genetics, physiology and molecular biology, proteomics plays a critical role in our understanding of cardiovascular systems at multiple scales. The purpose of this review is to examine recent developments in the field of myocardial injury and protection, examining how proteomics has informed investigations into organelles, signaling complexes, and cardiac phenotype.

01:30Overview of Cell Death
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the 20th century...

These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...
