代谢组学是继蛋白质组学和基因组学之后兴起的新科学,主要研究生命体或细胞代谢物,现已广泛用于微生物鉴定、疾病诊断和治疗以及药物研发。其在口腔疾病病因、发病机制和早期诊断等方面应用研究逐渐成为口腔医学领域关注的热点,本文就此方面的进展情况作一综述。 Metabolomics is a new science emerging after proteomics and genomics. It is a major research organism or cell metabolite and is now widely used in microbial identification, disease diagnosis and treatment, and drug discovery. Its application in the etiology, pathogenesis and early diagnosis of oral diseases has gradually become a hot spot in the field of stomatology. This article reviews the progress of this field.
