Browsing: Biomarkers
Biomarkers are measurable indicators of biological processes, health conditions, or responses to treatment, playing a crucial role in modern medicine and research. Found in blood, tissues, or other bodily fluids, biomarkers can signal the presence of diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disorders, or infections even before symptoms appear. Scientists use biomarkers to improve early diagnosis, predict disease progression, and personalize therapies for better outcomes. As technologies like genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics advance, the discovery of new biomarkers is accelerating, opening doors to more precise and proactive healthcare solutions.
