Studying Lipids as Potential Biomarkers in Patients With Fabry Disease

Lipidomics is the large-scale study of lipids (fats and fat-like molecules) within biological systems. It involves identifying and quantifying the wide variety of lipids in cells, tissues, or organisms to understand their roles in metabolism, signaling, and disease. Lipidomics is a subfield of metabolomics and uses advanced analytical techniques, like mass spectrometry, to profile lipid molecules. It helps in studying how lipids contribute to cellular functions, disease development, and responses to therapies.
