Abstract
Polyamines and the metabolic and physiopathological processes in which they are involved represent an active field of research that has been continuously growing since the seventies. In the last years, the trends in the focused areas of interest within this field since the 1970s have been confirmed. The impact of "-omics" in polyamine research remains too low in comparison with its deep impact on other biological research areas. These high-throughput approaches, along with systems biology and, in general, more systemic and holistic approaches should contribute to a renewal of this research area in the near future.
