11/13/2024: Aman's review entitled "Proteomic insights into the extracellular matrix: a focus on proteoforms and their implications in health and disease" is now out in Expert Review of Proteomics! 

This review discusses how bottom-up proteomics has been applied to identify, map, and quantify post-translational modifications (e.g. additions of chemical groups, proteolytic cleavage, or cross-links) and ECM proteoforms arising from alternative splicing or genetic variants. We further illustrate how proteoform-level information can be leveraged to gain novel insights into ECM protein structure and ECM functions in health and disease. The full article is available here.
