Declining or Waning

While 'Metallomics' has a robust research portfolio, certain themes appear to be declining in prominence. This trend may reflect evolving scientific priorities or shifts in funding and research interest.
  1. Traditional Metal Toxicity Studies:
    Research focused solely on the toxicity of metals without considering their biological roles is becoming less frequent as the field shifts towards understanding the nuanced roles of metals in biological systems.
  2. Basic Metal Biochemistry:
    Studies that solely describe the biochemical properties of metals without linking them to physiological or pathological processes are seeing reduced publication frequency, as the focus moves towards integrative approaches.
  3. Animal Models in Isolation:
    Research utilizing animal models to study metal interactions is declining in favor of more integrated approaches that combine in vitro and in silico methods, reflecting a trend towards more comprehensive and ethically considerate research methodologies.
