The blood proteome in disease Understanding the function of human blood serum proteins in disease has been limited by difficulties in monitoring their production, accumulation, and distribution. Emilssonet al. investigated human serum proteins of more than 5000 Icelanders over the age of 65. The composition of blood serum includes a complex regulatory network of proteins that are globally coordinated across most or all tissues. The authors identified modules and functional groups associated with disease and health outcomes and were able to link genetic variants to complex diseases.Science , this issue p.769
